Out our way, many herds are made up of different breeds of cattle. Up on the Tiger Ridge riding for Big Mike, Charlie and I worked with red Angus, Charolais, occasional blank Angus and quite a few mixed breeds. Each had their own advantages and disadvantages, and while some owners only ran one breed on their place, some, like Big Mike, ran a mixture. And that's fine with Charlie and me as well. We didn't care about the breed - just the brand. I was going through one of my old...
