Bull for brangus cross cows and heifers?

[samuse]

Hey all, I have about 28 momma cows and ten heifers that are mostly brangus with a little hereford. They're either black, black with white face, or splotchy face.

I would like to keep some heifers back to make cows out of and sell the steers at the sale barn.

I'm torn between a hereford or a braford bull. Even considered a Santa Gertrudis. Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

I'm in central Texas.

have you looked at beefmaster bull.with your cows you should get some nice replacement heifers.

I would go Beefmaster before Gert or Braford.

Of the the choices you listed I'd say Hereford. Going back on them with a Brangus bull is something else to consider.

Brangus bull.

Brangus or Ultra Black would be my choice. Depending on the build of you girls already, I would look for a bull that would compliment them based on THEIR body type. If they are on the larger frame size, I would try and bring the calves down a notch with the bull. Same with excess leather.

Oh and :welcome:

Can't go wrong with a Brangus, or even an Angus depending on what part of C. Texas you're in. Ultrablacks are the best of both worlds if you can find some!
