suggest going with red angus

Looks like he has some real potential.

Hard to keep and handle...pass them up.

No, but I would not attempt to do it...if you have Brangus cows why not just go with a Hereford or Charolais bull on them. Maine cattle were only really used for club calves and even today that has fallen off.

If you need the ear in your cows due to area climate conditions then I'd buy the best Brangus bull you can afford...heifers you will keep will have 3/16% Brahman in them enough for most places unless you are in marsh country on the coast. Then use a Hereford or Charolais bull on those females...

I would not opt to go with the Hereford x Galloway bull...better to consider a good straight Hereford or Charolais on those Red cows...will give you a top market calf.

Very few of them around...just better choices for most cattle programs.

Creep feeding is a thing of the past...big fat calves get discounted real hard...and I don't see any real big benefits when it comes weaning time either.

Just another marketing ploy...I have watch some of their sales and have seen better black baldies at our local auctions compared to what they were trying to sell as breeding stock.

Cattle feeders must stop feeding cattle so long and getting them too big as we don't need the meat and you know what happens when a bunch of 1,500 pound fat cattle are sitting in the yards prices go down. As cattle breeders we must stop getting cattle so big...at weaning, yearlings and as fats...

The Greys are great cattle...just not enough numbers in the U.S. to get anything going from a breed point of marketing to cattleman. Often thought that crossing the correct Grey bull on a set of F1 Angus-Charolais cows would be a good way to breed up vs. straight Angus cows that a lot of people...

Buyers of those big ticket cows probably don't care what they pay just like to look at good cows, I guess, but no financial sense at all in those figures...with top steer calves at the local auction barn selling in the $500 to $700 range...I saw some nice super baldie heifers today 4-6 mos. in...

Just a little Wisconsin Angus coming through.

What's wrong with producing 1200 lb. fats vs. 1400 pounders...we need to make our cattle smaller & effective to meet demand in the future not bigger. Big cattle are a waste of inputs and dollars.

I'd suggest you stay using a good Hereford or Angus bull...Wagyu on Brahman cross cows appears to be headed in the wrong direction for me...calves will be slow growing and light muscled.

You will be much better off to breed them to a good Hereford or Angus bull. If you breed Simangus to Beefmaster who knows what color calves you will get...spots, brindles who knows.

you'd be better off using a good red angus bull to get the best calf for all purposes. saler cattle were known to be pretty jumpy at one time...i think they have culled for this, but crossing saler with beefmaster you may need to build a new set of pens to hold'em.

I believe that you'd be better off selecting a good Red Angus or moderate Charolais bull to use back on Beefmaster type cows...the other two breeds mention are not bad cattle, but unless your feeding out your own calves the Braunvieh will kill you when you sell due to color patterns and Saler...

I have seen some Hereford Limousin cross cows that would be hard to beat for any operation in the Plains or Northwest parts of the country...they gave just the correct amount of milk and bred back in good time...always stayed in good shape and were tough as nails in taking bad weather cold or dry.
