[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1536918, member: 22295"] What is best for one producer isn’t for another. I will never tell a breeder what to do but do share my experiences. Angus and Hereford heifer bulls have came down in price around here. So they are a more viable option if a person has enough heifers to justify keeping a heifer bull. For us for the last 4 years using a Corriente cross or a cross worked well. We did try a few Angus bulls at different tunes including one sure fire sleep all night bull. The smallest calf was in the upper 80’s. We pulled every calf sired by him. Only afiund one that worked well and he was supposed to be a heifer bull. His calves have some weight but are long and smooth shouldered. Retained a son of his and used him this year. In March I can let you know if it was smart or not. But again I will say most of the 1/4 cross calves aren’t ratty. They aren’t top of the market but are solid calves that bring in a check and the heifer breeds back quick. [/QUOTE]
