So if I'm looking for bull recommendations for use on a herd of Holstein, Hol/Jersey, and Hol/Angus cows with the intention to breed beef with a terminal cross (and definitely need to add depth, growth, and butt!)... what would you pick? They'd be cows, not heifers, so as long as they're not cow-killers the calving ease isn't as important. The clean up bulls are black Angus. If there was a cross we could do and differentiate the AI bred cows from the cleanup bull-bred cows, that would make the owner very happy (though not essential). I'd go Hereford but there'd be too much white on the calves with the Holstein influence. Are there Charolais bulls that might work and not be docked at the sale barn (Idaho area)? Other options?
The easiest rep to use is Select Sires, so would prefer recommendations from their lineup if possible. Thanks!
