[QUOTE="Danllan, post: 6546722, member: 8735"] Alright, I'll admit I was having a little bit of fun, and thought someone might be up for it. :) No, I can't see [B]any [/B]commercial future for the miniature Herefords other than as pets, which I'm sure will make some a tidy profit. I think [USER=797]@Cowcalf[/USER] is spot on. But, and I'm [U]not[/U] joking now, I really do think that the Lowlines are worth considering. On average, here, I reckon we could have them out for about an extra month - rain dependent, a couple or more weeks earlier and later than at present, the differing factor being the damage our beasts do to the ground if they are out and it's wet. Of course the Lowlines aren't as easy on the ground as sheep, but they're half the weight of regular cattle, still less for continentals. As I wrote earlier, I think there wouldn't be too much problem shifting them either, and clearly none if you do the marketing yourself. In the end it's all down to two things: catering to taste and money. The money side is a no-brainer on the kg per acre basis, so then it's down to taste, fashion even. [/QUOTE]
