[QUOTE="SASKHOUFF, post: 1446947, member: 29915"] Ya i am concerned with how they look. Black calves are a dime a dozen, unless you can produce the absolute best they sell pretty avg. Dont get me wrong though, its how we got started. With black cows and our entire commercial herd are still straight black cows. Just havent done much with baldie heifers before and until last year we havent done any crossing. Hence why i have a dozen of these girls now after running horned hereford bulls on the black cows. I was more what other guys have done with bladie heifers. I can breed them back to my angus bulls, not my hereford bulls, or buy a simmi bull. Cant breed them char, them smoke calves are really hit and miss. I buy them to feed because they gain good and make good grassers, but at calf sales they are pretty meh. Long and short is, i dont want to just breed them back angus and have some so so calves. Cause then the crossing aint worth it to me. If guys are having success with simmi or whatever, then then the cross is worth it. [/QUOTE]
