[QUOTE="flaboy, post: 103645, member: 1726"] We did a Char bull years ago and with Char cows. We had a lot of calving problems mainly because the bull was a pallet head. We had to ditch him because we also run some other breeds. By chance about three years ago I went to a heifer replacement auction and picked up a couple Char heifers bred to a BA. I picked them up because the buyers were going crazy over black and I got them pretty reasonable. Boy did I do good! I put a R Angus bull on them with low BW EPD's and these Char's throw some nice stuff. I consistently get the highest $/pound from their offspring as compared to the rest of my stock. I don't think you can go wrong by putting an Angus or Hereford on these cows unless it has an exceptionally high BW EPD. [/QUOTE]
