[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1831778, member: 22295"] I agree with your view of BH’s. There is only one breeder in this area and his bulls when sold in a consignment sale sell at the bottom. Quality is lower than the Herefords or Angus. The few commercial calves you see sell get docked. We do retain a black baldie to use back on our A Gus cows at times. I know what their dam is and the quality behind them. IMO all black breeds are a different breed and will never be what the original breed was. I have seen many good black Simmi’s, Limmi’s ect. The issue is all have reduced frame and muscling to where there is little to nothing too gain by using them. If Jeanne or Simmi was close enough for me to buy one of their bulls I would likely try a Simmi. But haven’t found any here that fit my criteria or breeders I have trust in. Back to the BH’s they aren’t for me. I researched them and at this point see no advantage to using one. The very few I saw on a feed test tested in the bottom. Have never seen any effiency data on any. [/QUOTE]
