[QUOTE="Med, post: 190931, member: 3575"] Thanks for the reply Doc. Very informative in regards to my herd.I have been working on this herd of angus for about 15 years. I try to keep around 100 cows and have been rotating 10 to 15 heifers in and the old stuff out every year. By now I have a pretty good idea of the cow families that I want my replacements heifers to come from. I plan to continue using registered angus bulls on this group along with my heifers each year. A few years back, I decided to let the big boys sell the bulls and started to steer all my male calves. This is the part of my herd that I am seriously considering using a composite bull of some sort. Are there any composite bulls that hereford is a big part of the mix so much to throw the baldy calves on these angus cows ? I know I can get there with the pure blooded hereford bull, but what I am hearing the composite would be better in pounds per calf . [/QUOTE]
