[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 366468, member: 1683"] I suggest a canned-planned breeding program for a long term process. You already have a blended cross-bred herd of Red Angus, Hereford, and Gelbvieh, and the next step would be a Continental Bull (Simmental, Charolais, Gelbvieh) with Gelbvieh being my choice right now because of the Gelbvieh influence already there, but make sure it is the Best Bull you can afford! If you keep replacement heifers, cull 20% of your older cows and use a Red Angus as your next bull. Then in two more years, use a Hereford bull, then in two years go back to a Gelbvieh Bull, culling 20% of your older cows each year and replacing them with better heifers from your best cows. By this time you have been rotating bulls, and 12 years have elapsed, and by then you will know what your herd really is, and you can give thought to an updated program. DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
