  • By Harlan Ritchie BREEDS of BEEF and MULTI-PURPOSE CATTLE
    2009 By Harlan Ritchie BREEDS OF BEEF AND MULTI-PURPOSE CATTLE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The inspiration for writing this book goes back to my undergraduate student days at Iowa State University when I enrolled in the course, “Breeds of Livestock,” taught by the late Dr. Roy Kottman, who was then the Associate Dean of Agriculture for Undergraduate Instruction. I was also inspired by my livestock judging team coach, Professor James Kiser, who took us to many great livestock breeders’ farms for practice judging workouts. I also wish to acknowledge the late Dr. Ronald H. Nelson, former Chairman of the Department of Animal Science at Michigan State University. Dr. Nelson offered me an Instructorship position in 1957 to pursue an advanced degree as well as teach a number of undergraduate courses, including “Breeds of Livestock.” I enjoyed my work so much that I never left, and remained at Michigan State for my entire 47-year career in Animal Science. During this career, I had an opportunity to judge shows involving a significant number of the breeds of cattle reviewed in this book. I wish to acknowledge the various associations who invited me to judge their shows and become acquainted with their breeders. Furthermore, I want to express thanks to my spouse, Dr. Leah Cox Ritchie, for her patience while working on this book, and to Ms. Nancy Perkins for her expertise in typing the original manuscript. I also want to acknowledge the late Dr. Hilton Briggs, the author of the textbook, “Modern Breeds of Livestock.” I admired him greatly and was honored to become his close friend in the later years of his life.

It is a pitch black animal with a short neck and very prominent eyes. The poll is round and hornless, reputed to be one of its superior traits. The Angus has a smooth hair coat and is relatively small in size. It is particularly suited to fattening. Angus cattle thrive in cold temperate regions, such as south-eastern Australia, particularly where foggy conditions are often experienced. It is also very useful for cross-breeding in those areas. Desirable traits include mothering and milking ability, early maturity, easy calving, easy mustering, high fertility and an extremely good carcass quality. Hereford: The Hereford evolved in the south western part of England on the border of Wales and is one of most well known breeds in the world. It has a reddish brown body and a characteristic white face. They are medium to large in size and are horned (preferably growing downward and inward). Desirable traits include hardiness, grazing ability, rugged adaptability, reproductive efficiency, good temperament, heavy bones and thick flesh. Tendency towards some health problems (e.g.
