[QUOTE="Pooog1, post: 252211, member: 3959"] From my experience, you could run into some problems with calving if your not careful with some of these breeds together. We calve in Feb, March, and April and most of our calves are averaging around the 650-700lb mark. We had a set of twins off of one cow that was 15 last year and they weighed almost 1000lbs combined (bull and heifer). This pulled the cow down quite a bit and we did sell her last fall as well but she did a good job, was even a show heifer in her day. We always sell the second week in October. We had one steer calf last year that was quite discounted and sold like a yearling(1.01lb) because he was over 875lbs. He was born in February, but this cow always has a whopper of a calf. Anyway you could do well with any of these crosses. I know that each breed has their good and bad traits! Good luck! I personally think the most important think with selling calves is to have uniformity within your cattle. [/QUOTE]
