[QUOTE="kdchex, post: 1831123, member: 17579"] I started out with a mixed herd, similar to yours, heavy on Santa Gertrudis and black angus. I started focusing on culling and retaining the characteristics that I wanted. I bought registered red angus bulls and some registered heifers to start with. I found that the red angus X Santa Gertrudis outcrosses were best, even better than the registered breedings. It took a few years but I wound up with a really nice herd with the characteristics that I wanted such as temperament, milking, mothering, and fertility. And there were times when my calves caught top dollar at the sale yard. [/QUOTE]
