[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 437066, member: 1258"] Purebred Highlands: Couldn't sell them with papers, got docked at the salebarn for hair and size. Hereford Cross: Docked at salebarn Saler Cross: Disposition on the majority was not great and the bull(s) wouldn't stay home Shorthorn Cross: Docked at salebarn Charolais and Charolais cross: Good prices but the cows were too hard of keepers for our area and the calves were born too slow - more deaths in the freezing temperatures Simmental Cross: Had to cull a lot for disposition and not very long living. This is over a period of nearly 60 years. We do still have some of these crosses in our commercial herd and breed to a Red Angus bull but we are in the process of breeding purebred Red Angus, they work the best for us and they sell well in our area.
