    How much ear is too much in a US sale barn?

    I was wondering at what % do you start getting docked for ear when selling feeder steers in the US? I am sure it is different in parts of the country and eared heifers bring a premium in some parts. Is 10% ear even noticeable?

    What breeds do you cross?

    I was just interested in what breeds people crossed and the reason behind it. Some use breeds for growth, some for the climate, weaning weights, low birth weights and I can appreciate all the various reasons.

    What would you breed to the baldies?

    The Angus X Hereford cross black baldies are real popular these days, but to really take advantage of heterosis you would need a 3rd breed to breed to the baldies. I would like to keep the F2 black with easy calving, so what breed would you recommend?
