[QUOTE="bolsen, post: 55963, member: 916"] Chi and Chiangus cows make excellent replacement heifers actually. My brother in law did an internship with Dieter bros. while he was in college and they have the biggest herd of chi and chiangus cattle i've ever seen and ifthey are bred right and you do your research jsut like any breed of cattle y9ou will be sucessful breeding them. only drawback to them like mentioned before is there frame size and extremely large BE it's not uncommon for calves to be well over 100 lbs. Dieter bros did a study on the BW of the chi bulls and they bred them to old fashioned simmi and char cowsthat most of them weighed well over 1700 lbs and could carry a big calf and the avg BW on there calves was 108 lbs the biggest being 128 lbs now you wouldn't want that bred to an angus cow. But they delivered them with no problems what so ever. But if you swap it around and breed your angus bull to your chi cows you'll always be sucessful that way you can't go wrong. [/QUOTE]
