BLACK-BALDIES

[Ryder]

IN beef cattle production, Black Baldies means Hereford / angus cross...

Breeding holsteins heifers so they can have a small calf with a hereford and produce more beef is a good by product of the dariy end, but no way to be con fussed with a true beef animal Hereford /angus...

The F-1 black Baldies Hereford/angus are a very sought after brood stock, prehaps the best mother cows in the business..You can not say that about these other so called black baldies, even if you might pass some of them off as such...

I will say the super baldies, for hot climate are, a fine combo also....

Got to agree with aftn. Tradition has it as HXA. Leave the definition at that and use some other wording to designate other breed crosses.

I thought that the term "Super" referred to 1/4 Brahman influence for added heat tolerance.
No matter the color or prescription used to achieve it.
Red Super,
Yellow Super,
Black Super, etc.
All "real", all supers.
So is that just your favorite cross to get one or is this something else I am misinformed on?

So Super Man was 1/4 Brahman?

You ever see the ears on Jorels momma?
Neither did I, but I heard tales.
And with the loss of the entire planet ...registries, epds, and even DNA is pretty tough to come by.
Plus the fact that Kryptonian influence is known to do a major good job on ear shrinkage, makes it tough to know for sure.
I guess it comes down to which side of the fence feels right.

Just branded a set of breeding heifers-black bulls on purebred horned hereford cows.

Hate to break your Black Baldie bubble,If you think black baldies means angus-hereford cross, I have some ocean front property in Arizona to sell ya. :roll:

 

[Northern Rancher]

In cattle country a black baldy is hereford/angus cross-have no idea about the corn belt.

 

[Red Bull Breeder]

Northern Rancher just where is cattle country?

 

[haase]

Guess,the baldies up here in the cornbelt are fakes, the only real ones are in the cattle belt.

At times you demonstrate a keen mind and a wealth of knowledge. :nod:
At other times you are just an aggravation.:lol2:

Maybe you could enlighten us as to what they really are?

The first Black Baldies I ever saw were when my Gramdpa's horned Hereford bull jumped the fence and bred a pasture full of the nieghbors Angus heifers in 1962.
Man were those nice calves.

First ones I saw was aorund 1959-60 when a local dairyman used Hereford bull on his Holstein heifers.

3waycross, I never said what a black baldie was, never knew they were a registered cross either, but then again I dont live in the cattle belt either. But according to others on here a baldie is a hereford and angus cross only. Up here in the corn belt a baldie can have angus,simmental, limousin, and like dun said holstein in it, what enlighting are you looking for?

 

[Northern Rancher]

Black baldie is the industry term for a herford/angus cross-when I advertise baldie heifers for sale the first thing most guys ask is if they are real baldies not another cross with similar color. Not really a big deal to bicker over but people like to know what they are getting.

 

[Red Bull Breeder]

Thanks Van i really needed to no just where cattle country was. All this time i been thinking where every they was cows it was cattle country.

Your definition was what I was looking for. I don't think it's unreasonable and although comprehensive, not necessarily correct. I have to go with Northern Rancher and say that the generallyaccepted defination is an angus/hereford cross and I believe that applies to any part of the country.

BTW did I miss the part about it them being registered, I know I certainly didn't say that.

How do you get a black baldie out of simms, and limms....use a Black Angus to turn them Euros Black, then cross them with a Hereford....
