Kathleen, I'm sorry the germs caught you. I hope Stan didn't get it. How is he doing?
Here in our part of beef country, crossbreds are the norm, with black Angus and Hereford being the most common. We have several purebred ranches in the area where excellent quality breeding stock is raised, plus the AI guy is busy bringing in semen from afar. Some of the purebred ranches sell through video auctions. Thomas Angus Ranch is one of them. Some of their bulls go for over $50,000. A neighbor had some Beefmaster cattle a few years ago, halfbreds I think, and now their crossbred decendents are mixed in with several others, well blended and unnoticeable.
