[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 146629, member: 2653"] Welcome Justlearnin, Black angus would be a good cross for the red brangus bull you have. Birthing problems would depend on your bull (his epd's), and your mgt. of the heifers/cows during and up to calving. I use brangus bulls, and don't have calving problems. There heads are wedge shaped and tend to come out easier than say a charolais. Tempermant would be no problem. There will always be crazies every now and then. Just cull them. But in my experience angus are more docile than brangus. If you want bigger calves to see you could also look at other cows. I'm sure everyone will chime in here, but here are a few others to consider: -simmentals -hereford -almost any good f-1 -charolais which brings me to the next statement. I would be more concerned about getting a good cow, than the type of breed. All breeds have something to offer, but if you get stuck with bad cows - any breed has something that should be culled.
