[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1846356, member: 40587"] I think so too. This morning I talked to my buddy that is the breeding manager and AI tech for the huge Charolais operation here. He said he didn't know of any red Char semen off-hand, but he would look. It will be end of 2025 before we would breed them any way. Maybe by then, more and more would be available, and sexed semen would be a plus. I had heard of attempts to create black Charolais before ( and white Angus, for some reason I don't understand) , but hadn't heard of red Chars til this week. These Black Simm x CHi-Angus heifers we are getting in July are homo for black and polled. He breeds these specifically to be used for a terminal cross, using a 3rd breed bull. He highly discourages using Simm, Chi-angus, Angus or Brangus bulls. I saw some calves, that he had bred a couple he didn't sell to Beefmaster, and they were exceptional. We were thinking of using Gert, BM, or maybe Braford. And even kicked around the idea of maybe using Char, and counting on the extra growth to negate the non-black "dock". But, using a Char with no dilute genes, that produces the same growth as Char, ought to yield some calves that you could almost [I]see [/I]them growing every day, and that will fetch the CAB premium consistently. I wish those heifers we are getting in July were 16 months old instead of 6. I am too impatient, and my time here is getting shorter. I told Clay he ought to get rid of all the other stuff he is doing, and go ahead and order as many for next year as he could afford. And just get some every year as long as this dude is in business...he is about 60 yrs old now. If he got up to about 50 of these cows, he'd be set! [/QUOTE]
