[QUOTE="UG, post: 1339783, member: 714"] As I think about this, a few questions come to mind: -what is the breed composition of the cows? If they already have some Brahman influence in them, I would go with Angus. If the cows are high percentage Angus, I would go with Brangus to capture some heterosis. -if these calves are going to be sold through a sale barn, do the buyers at that barn heavily discount calves with ear? If so, I would go with Angus. -both Angus and Brangus are wonderful breeds for making replacement females. If this producer is looking for a terminal sire, why is he/she limiting themselves to Angus or Brangus? If they are wanting pounds at weaning, a moderate framed Charolais bull would work very well. Also, Simmental, Limousin, Braunvieh, and Gelbvieh bulls add pounds at weaning and should be considered. [/QUOTE]
