[QUOTE="smnherf, post: 709657, member: 3235"] It really comes down to what your plans are for your cowherd. If your going to keep females from your own herd, then you need to decide what your plan for the next generation is and even the next generation after that. Otherwise you are just jumping from one breed to another and end up with just a herd of mixed up cows with no real identity and not much heterosis in it. One thing to consider too, if you choose the terminal sire route, you need to take into account the difference in the value of the heifers. Many times in our country a good British crossbred breeding heifer will be worth more dollars per head than a heifer out of a continental terminal breed. Whatever you choose to do though, buy the best quality you can as a good calf of any color sells better than a poor calf no matter what the color is. Brian [/QUOTE]
