[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1361953, member: 22295"] With that being said there is no demand for straight Limi or Simmi steers here in this region. And they will be docked more than a good straight Hereford. The Sim/Angus fad is fading out also. Too much docilty issues along with the feeders buyers not preferring them. One feeder buyer stated that his preference was a good half Angus either crossed with a Hereford or 1/4 Hereford and 1/4 Simi, Limi or Gelvie. The black hide doesn't fool a true cowman. And there is a niche market for Hereford steers in this area for the CHB program. I read an article recently that a lot of research had went into. It showed that over the whole nation Angus was the dominant breed, then Herefords and Red Angus witht he rest grouped behind them. There are some still using Chars for a cross but not many. They are docked too much. A neighbor runs good Chars and some of her bulls in the past bred a few cows. Although of good quality they cut them off at the sale and they bring less. But the black baldies are left on the bunch. If they are real good Herefords and only a few they will leave them also many times. This is just what I've seen. Things vary so much from one region to the next it is hard once you get below a straight good quality Angus to say what is the best choice. [/QUOTE]
