For a commercial use(black bull on commercial mommas), would you recommend them as a herd sire? I'm interested in them for throwing ear, more hardiness, fertility, docility, etc in replacement heifers. Would they take a dock at the sale barn? Would they throw larger calves? Generalizing, would the calves be too large for heifers(angus, hereford etc), or would it not cause problems? One of my main concerns is calving ease. Would they grow off as good or better than angus sired calves? We currently use angus, though have used Limousin in the past. We have used Santa Gertudis and Brangus bulls in the past, but I think we shied away from the breeds influenced by Brahmans in the past because the bulls always threw too big of calves. But with beefmaster, would this be an issue? Thanks in advance, ears are always open to advice and help. :nod:
