Beefmasters can thrive in the cold and the heat. They are about 1/2 hereford and shorthorn so they will hair up good. They were built on being a maternal breed and will have some of the biggest udders next to dairy breeds.
The Newman steer of 05 and Copus's reserve in Houston in I think 01 and This years SA steers are the best 3 slicks ever imo. I didn't even think this years Houston champ should have even got out of class.
