[QUOTE="Australian, post: 647527, member: 8793"] Forget about Hereford or Angus. Can't see a lot of benefit using them. Using a high Brahman content Brangus might be alright or a Charbray. South Devon or Brahman would be great. These crosses allow you to go to mostly any bull over them. I use South Devon and Brahman and Brahman over the few pure Charolais I have. Have used Hereford over them but have been dissappointed because they are light coloured and I can't get a decent line of calves to sell.Why don't you use Charolais back over them? I find Charolais are fairly high maintenance in our country. They have to be fed long before any of the other cattle when things get tough. My best doing cattle when tough times set in are Black Baldies and Brahman, Brahman cross and Herefords. Worst performers have been Gelbvieh and straight Angus.
