I'm running Charolais bulls right now on rainbow cattle. I am in the process of uprgrading as my rainbows get ss. Now, I look at all these breeds and each one has the best milkers, the best rog, the best hardiness, etc...you know the drill. I need some experience to help me wade through all of the breeds, Without having to buy a female from each breed and see which one crosses the best on my bulls. Right now, the majority of my calves go to the auction. The Charolais are getting the job done as far as putting on pounds for the sale. I would like to shorten my time from birth to sale weight(4-6 wt). It seems like the hybrid vigor works pretty well. The white charolais type cattle don't have as good of calves. So I need somebodys been there done that story so I can shorten my road to "profitabilty", elusive in the cattle business. I live close to Houston.
