Bulls?

[fnfarms1]

Thanks guys. I like that using a Angus-Hereford-angus approach. Some of calves are dinks, I'm guessing partly due to genetics. Probably alot to do with heterosis too

Or maybe a homozygous black Hereford bull :hide: Langford Herefords has some nice bulls in your neck of the woods.

I'm a little surprised... no Hereford enthusiasts suggestions for starting with a Hereford bull

I deleted that part. Way to obvious.

Dumb question that I should know. Wouldn't a black Hereford on baldy cows thow even more white into them. Before long u have calves with spots all over not just head and underline? Never messed with Hereford bulls, dad always used charloais bulls over mixed cows. I'm trying to improve on the heinz57 cows, away from spots. For the record, I do know the difference in markings and spots

If I was a betting man I would bet you're correct. I'd try them after the Angus bull or a simangus baldy bull.

Thanks Son of Butch. U explained it better than I did. Angus it is.

Boot Jack Bulls mentioned leg work etc for good bulls. What did he mean? Just going and looking to find a good one?

FNFarms1, I (she) mean get out and look at bulls. Don't buy the first thing you see. It is a buyers market, so the guy or gal willing to shop and research is the one (generally) who will find the great deals.

Yes, a high quality bull is really more important than the breed. There is less difference between truly good individuals of different breeds than there is between the top and bottom in each breed.

Excellent point and statement :clap:
