[QUOTE="Keren, post: 751954, member: 3195"] you know, before your smart arse comment, I was actually thinking to myself, funny how black baldies seem to buck the trend. I would hazard a guess thats because angus are very much a refined maternal breed, and hereford tend more towards a heavier set type of breed, I hesitate to say carcase. But the two breeds are not exactly similar. Besides which, it is still common knowledge that you will get more heterosis from a euro x brit, and the most from a euro x bri x indicus. not saying that black baldies arent great cattle, they are. but if you split your hereford herd, and put an angus bull over half and a lim bull over the other half, the lim calves are still gonna gain faster/weigh heavier than the angus calves.
