I'm looking for a bull for my small Hereford heifer. She's been cycling at least 3 months now, but she is very small. I'm not sure of her age, but when we got her in February or so, she was 325 pounds. She has since filled out, but is still short. Now I'd say she's 500-550 pounds, but like I said short. Like 40- 42 inches tall. So I think she will mature at maybe 850-900 pounds, that's just a guess.
Anyway, we aren't going to rush it, but will want to get her bred at some point. Does she sound like she will be big enough to breed to an Angus? If so any recommendations? If she has a heifer we may keep it, bull would be for our meat.
Could go Murray grey too, or even lowline Angus? just wondering if there's an angus that might work also, BTW my ai guy is with ABS.
Thanks!
