[QUOTE="A.J., post: 1793590, member: 13664"] I’m not sure where you are located, but in most places it’s hard to beat a black baldy calf. They sell good as feeders, and make great replacements too. The only catch to using a Hereford is you might get some red calves here and there since you don’t know the genetic makeup of the cows. Since some of your cows are probably Angus or Angus cross, you would get more heterosis bang for your buck with Hereford over a black Hereford, but a good bull from either breed should still give you some good calves. You could get a Hereford and an Angus bull for the number of cows you have, and should get some good calves and see which type calf you prefer. [/QUOTE]
