[QUOTE="keysbottles, post: 817373, member: 15203"] I have been a hobby farmer for a number of years and now my son is joining me and expanding the operation. I have 20 head of Reg. Black Angus and he has bought 60 head of mixed heifers, with the goal of eventually building to 100 head. We are presently using Black Angus bulls. We plan to use the Angus cows to feed replacements into the commercial herd. To take advantage of hybrid vigor we plan to cross the Angus cows with a different breed bull and use a third breed for the terminal bull. My questions are, is this a sound plan and what breeds would best serve as the maternal and terminal bulls? We have been looking at Limousin, Gelbvieh and Piedmontese. [/QUOTE]
