To all you rodeo/cattle people out there?

Question

When you're, cutting, camp drafting and generally working with horse and cattle for competition which breed of cow do you find most challenging and really makes the ride worthwhile.? I really enjoy the X Brahman and also the Angus crosses they really give me a run for my money.

and which breed of cow do you find harder to get moving and gives up easy...I find Murray greys are pretty lazy. I live in Australia so cattle might be different in the US

Answer 1

I personaly like anything crossed with the Brahman. But normaly to save money I just goto the sale yards and pick up a mixed lot of commercial calves.  I like have the mix because they do want to stick to gether...to a point. Like cattle would rather be with like cattle. If you have a bunch of black/white face calves and you mix in a few white. The white calves will be more abt to cut and run from the herd. But I don't pick just one breed I go for a mixed lot where the only thing you can realy tell about them is feed goes in one end and cow pies got out the other and there is a leg in each corner.
