CAB dribble aside, and back to those good calves, I just have to add that it's taken me more years than I care to admit, but I finally came around to the fact that breed don't matter anymore than the color of your truck. It's all about the right TYPE of cattle for YOUR environment. And those calves and cows obviously work for you. Great pics.

I Like Cattle, Period but for my last Fair Projects,
I picked out two Steers form different side of the Auction Yard and bought them both on the same day
1 Hereford and 1 Angus
Across the Scale they weighed 2# different

Same Pen _ Same Feed _ Same Everything
At Fair time the Angus weighed 54# More than the Hereford
The Hereford beat the Angus in the Show Ring _ #1 and #2
There's a Hereford Hide is on our Sofa

"The Angus Won the Overall CARCASS Class"

Your right on Pure Country, everybody needs to find the cattle that will work for their ranch & range. What sold me on Charolais cattle is how they performed on the grass I have available. By an act of nature, drought, I had a side by side comparison of the black/black white face cows and charolais cows I was runnin' at that time. They went to pasture the same; body condition, calving period, breeding period, age and same pasture. To shorten a long story, the black cows came home skinny(bcs 3 to 3+) 350 lb. calves. The charolais in good condition(bcs 4+ to 5) and 500 lb. calves.

Charolais are good match for my ranch environment.

Guess it wasn't necessarily "dribble" until you said it was so, Pure. Heh, heh. Ah well, I appreciate your vantage point. Everybody ought to do what works.

Triangle Bar, thanks for sharing the good pics of your cattle and country. I can fully appreciate your environment, having grown up in the general geography, give or take a couple hundred miles. Glad to see you're getting along with things there.
