no one has mentioned any of the dairy breeds. they are even more calm as they have daily contact with people. bad part is a dairy cow/heifer will make a lot of milk once they calve. and calves screw up the udders for returning to a milk production life. although an old cow nearing hamburger stage might fare well as a mother and fall freezer filler. dairy cow beef is just as good or better, just not as much per animal, which for yourselves is still plenty of meat. and it doesnt matter what age of cow a calf comes out of, (as long as good genetics) it's a brand new animal. dairy heifer calves are worth $$. shorthorns in our dairy herd seemed to be the wooliest in the winter months when heifers were kept outside (near st cloud mn), although all grow nice winter coats.
you might consider raising heifers for a dairy farm near you too, there is always a need for that with the bigger farms. definitely a lot of choices for you!
