[QUOTE="Limomike, post: 1094354, member: 3400"] I wouldn;t use one unless the breeding was more stabilzed with more then 50% of one breed. Too many variables shrown in the mix. Even iwth that I would want it to be something that there was more of in the cow herd so that at least that breed would be more dominant. I've seen some great black baldies used and some of the calves were really good, [b]but a like number were not very good to just plain poor[/b]. My neighbor keeps all his heifers and usually uses a cross bred bull. His herd has gone down in quality over the past 10 years and I lay it at the feet of his crossbred bulls, of course his inferior cows that he has developed also enters into it.[/quote] That right there would be the biggest concern I would think. Plus the fact that over the years, the overall quality would go down. [/QUOTE]
