[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1823658, member: 40587"] You didn't say if they were reg or commercial. If they are homozygous for black., you can use a Hereford bull and you will get all black calves. But any that are hetera black could yield a red calf. If you get one that is homozygous for black, then a Black Hereford will sire all black calves. While black baldies sell [I]as well as[/I] black calves, they don't sell [I]better. [/I] Unless you are just dead set on the idea of black baldies, in your location you couldn't do better than a Brangus bull. If you did Ai, or if you could set up two separate herds at breeding time, I would think long and hard on using a homo for black and polled black Simm bull on the Brangus. If that bull was a bwf, he might even put one on those Brangus calves. [/QUOTE]
