[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 856160, member: 4353"] Angus typically are better milkers, but also tend to be harder keeping and not quite as fertile because of that. If your conditions are good I'd go with angus cows and a hereford bull, otherwise you might leave lbs on the table at weaning time. Nothing beats the fertility of hereford cows so if your conditions are tougher and the environment can't support the extra milk from the angus rather use hereford cows and an angus bull, otherwise you might not have as many calves to wean next year. The crux of it is to use cows that are adapted to your conditions and use the bull to please the market and not the other way around. [/QUOTE]
