[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 817738, member: 4353"] Classical case of different strokes for different folks, limousin would be the last breed I look at for making replacements, but maybe thats just me here in my corner of the 3rd world. The problem with crossbreeding systems in my opinion is that to really get the full effect you need and reliable outside source to supply the maternal genetics to keep the genetic make up of the maternal herd the same. From there onwards your options are limitless on bull choice. I'd personally use charolais or limousin bulls on baldie females and not bother retaining heifers at all, I'd rather go and buy aged, but sound baldie cows from a reliable source if possible to find them.
