I have a Char/ang/sim bull right now and he seem to have nice calves with the angus and sim cross cows. Never liked the pink calves he has with the lim cows, till this year and got a nice white heifer from one of the lim cows. Seems to me that the Chars are good to throw in with any herd, but whites sell less sometimes around here so that can be a problem. ( not a pro so don't quote me)
I worked at place where we were converting herefords to angus because of the popularity/price factor.
In one particular deal the solid blacks were bringing 15 cents/kg( too tired to convert but it's substancial) more than red and black baldies but the crossbreds made up for it on average with extra weight for age.
Not saying it's always the case but sometimes the hybrid vigour is a leveller and should be considered. :cboy:
