Breeding question

[bully54]

I live in Miss. A friend of mine who has nice Hereford cattle is willing to let me take one of his bulls for a few months to breed when the time comes (no cost). My question is this, would you breed him to an Angus or Brangus? I know there is not much difference but which one and why? The reason I ask about Angus and Brangus because these two breeds are available to me at a reasonable price.
Thanks

if i were in Montana or a colder climate,, theres no question.... angus... but here it would be brangus ....

I agree with ALA... due to climate, Brangus would be my choice, IF both are similar.. which we all know they probably arent.

Not much difference??? You just totally alienated me. Probably alienated folks on the other side of the fence who live in cold climates.

That's true. Sorry. Figured I would get that. I worded it wrong I guess

Go to the link below and click on "brangus". Scroll down to about the 9th paragraph and read research from Louisiana. http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/cattle/
