[QUOTE="Tower hills cattle, post: 366307, member: 3492"] We are in the market for new bulls, and are thinking of going to red bulls. We have been using black angus bulls, and I guess we are just thinking of changing up a bit. We have increased our cow numbers 30% over last breeding season, and last years bull has gone elsewhere because of a really bad temperament. Our cow herd is 25% Red Angus, 25% Red Angus/Gelbvieh, and 50% Hereford. We sell our calves green tagged in late fall, this year was our first private treaty for all of our calves. Buyer really didn't offer much input on which way to go so I thought I would pose the question here. Which breed would offer us the best terminal cross for the end user, but still maintain a decent temperament. We have not in the past saved replacements, due to some pasture/facility constraints. Any comments? [/QUOTE]
