[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1847853, member: 40587"] My neighbor that raises the Gert X Hereford, just got Dan to order some homo for red (no dilute gene) , homo for polled Red Char semen. He is going to try it on a 5 of his Gert cows. Will be interesting to see how those calves stack up compared to his Gert X Herf. He also has two Gert X Herf heifers that just had Angus claves, and he is thinking of breeding them to the red Char as well. That should be an ideal third-breed terminal cross. We will know about this time next year. And, the boy that has converted his row crop land to pasture, and is breeding those "[I]reverse black baldies[/I]" ( Black Herefords x Red Angus), that I have been buying the red Angus and red Brangus cows and heifers for, told me at the sale yesterday, to try to find him 5 or 6 Red Char cows. He wants to try them with his Black Hereford bulls. After hours online yesterday, last night and today, this is going to be a tough order to fill. No one has any good 3-6 year old cows for sale, most that are for sale are culls for some reason or another. At least, not at a price that would make sense for breeding commercial cattle. This is going to take up a lot of time, and I don't think I will find any at a price I could mark up a little to make it worth my while. He may have to settle for heifers. One of his BH bulls is a low birth weight, CE heifer bull, and given the size of Char, he may be ok with heifers. I have Dan asking around about some red Char cows, too. He said they have never fooled with them , but he knows other Char breeders that have. There must be a down-side or negative to them vs whites, or seems like there would be more of them. From other forums and FB groups, the consensus is their numbers are growing rapidly in the US, though. [/QUOTE]
