[QUOTE="wtrapp, post: 1036255, member: 8990"] This is the first time I've been on in a long long time. Been dealing with family health issues. My question is 3 fold and I thank you in advance for your opinions. Here goes. I have an opportunity of buying one of two groups of cattle: Group One: 50/50 Red Balancers 3-5 years old bred to calve starting Ocotober Group Two: 1/2 Red Gelbvieh, 1/4 Red Angus and 1/4 Santa Gertrudis 3-4 years old with 150-200 LB calves For either group the calves would be sold at the salebarn or freezer beef. I'm in middle Tennessee with Fescue pastures and both groups are Fescue tollerant. I currently have a Red Angus Bull so breeding to group one the calves would still be balancers but 75% RA & 25% RG. Group two calves would be (I think) 5/8 Red Angus 1/4 Red Gelbvieh and 1/8 Santa Gertrudis In your opinons which group would be the better cows and why; would you recommend something other than the Red Angus bull; if so what? and which calves would make the better freezer beef and why? Thank you, Wayne [/QUOTE]
