[QUOTE="Texan, post: 50561, member: 416"] Depends on what you're after, in a way. Replacements or terminals. I would think it would be a bad choice for you for terminal calves. And probably an unnecessary one for replacements. I've got some cows from that cross and I like them a lot down here. A great maternal influence, but I don't think I'd want them in PA. If you decide to do it anyway, pay close attention to what TR said about the leather. Try to find one with a clean underline or else pass altogether. My personal choice in your area would be to stick with the straight Herefords or use a good black Angus. I would think you could find either maternal and/or carcass lines in both breeds. Seems to me like that would give you a replacement that is better suited to your environment and/or a terminal calf that is more in demand in your area. [/QUOTE]
