What is your favorite Cattle Breed?

[Erins Little Farm]

I'd like to have a small herd of Tarentaise some day.

So would I. I love tarentaise.

Ooo, I just read up on the Red Durham and like what I see so far. The Milking Shorthorn and Devon are nice looking too. Someday I would like to make my own breed, that would be cool.

I'm revising what I said. Now I don't really know too much about cattle and I've never had any so my breeds could change if I were to have some.

For meat I like.....

Highlands (I love the look and the history. They are a great all around breed.)
Herefords (The size, the look, the temperament.)
Black Angus (The black, the size, the muscle.)
*All of these are great for meat and all make great crosses. Can't go wrong with any of them


For dairy I like.....

Holstein (Hands down the best dairy breed. Not bad for meat and they make good crosses.)
Guernsey (I like the look and they are a neat breed.)
Brown Swiss (The great milk amount they give. Their temperament. They are very resistant too.)

Dairy: Jerseys!
Beef: Galloways! (but I also love Herefords)
