[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 380690, member: 2095"] A good Charolais will probably add 50-100 lbs on a straight Hereford calf crop too. There is a lot of things that I don't like about Chars; but failing to add hybrid vigour is not one of them. I wouldn't give up trying to sell the old guy a couple of bulls; BUT I wouldn't really expect to ever see success and I wouldn't let his refusal upset me any. My Grandfather straightbred commercial Hereford - then Polled Hereford cows from 1948 to 1981.....LONG, LONG after it was obvious that crossbreeding would add some returns. Straightbreeding is a lot easier and when you have your breed association and your seedstock supplier extolling the virtues of doing what you are doing there is a lot of resistance to any kind of change. It don't have to be show quality Angus. They are "Angus". They are actually "Gardiner Angus" (and that name even sells down here a thousand miles away). With beef prices what they are now, IF yall actually have rain your way, NOW is the time to sell females. If they are both sound, and healthy, and IF the old man would give me a $50-100 a head finders fee, I would be pushing commercial Angus heifers to everybody who comes out to look at a bull. [/QUOTE]
