[QUOTE="anewcomer, post: 1839304, member: 18748"] [I]I help with a 300 cow herd in Central Alabama. We are a terminal herd, all calves are stockered on ryegrass through the spring. We buy-in sale barn replacement cows each fall, bred to our March 1 calving season. These cows are bred to unknown bulls, but the main herd is bred Charolais. The herd is smaller cows, 950-1000 lb. We hope to express the genetics of the Charolais sires by grazing through spring. Quality Charolais bulls are reasonably priced in our area. My thought is to phase in quality black Simmental bulls over time. This would give black hided calves with, hopefully, the same growth potential of the Charolais sired calves we currently see. The Simmentals will be pricier in our area, but if we phase them over time, we might be able to mitigate the price differential. Any experience with straight bred black Simmental?[/I] [/QUOTE]
