[QUOTE="Farmhand, post: 94614, member: 1292"] Gee Caustic, Crowderfarms, and rwthereford, sorry I got you all ripped for askin'. I have multiple breeds in my cow herd. My Angus cows are smaller than my Hereford cows. My Hereford cows are smaller than my Charlais cows. I don't think my Angus cows would handle a Char bull very well. Smokey calves do very well here and I can get the same results with less work and worry going the Char cow x Angus bull route. I have never had a dead calf or a vet for a hard pull with this combination. Maybe I could have more money crossing the other way but maybe I would just be using that money to pay the vet or have no money 'cuz I lost the calf. Char cow x Angus bull seems more of a quarentee than the other. I select for disposition so do not have a problem there. I can work all the different breeds just as easy. My Angus bulls have all been as gentle as lambs. I am curious stocky as to why your Char bulls would have good dispositions but your Char cows are flighty. Just wondering. I am curious to as why everyone jumped on caustic about hereford when I asked him about angus? Knowing the size of my cows, I know that anything that will work on the Angus will work for all my other breeds. Anyway, sorry I got you all ripped for asking your OPINION. [/QUOTE]
