Yes, I think it was on Corriente and Longhorn Cattle Crossbreeding Connection And he also posted he had sold some like her that averaged 502 for $1150 each. I read it like he was asking if he should ask more for this one?
I never did try a BH on our herd, but yeah, this one looks good. I had a client call me Monday wanting to buy 2 Black Herf bulls. He has red angus cows! I always thought he had a registered herd, and I knew he had reg Red Angus and Red Brangus bulls, so I wondered why he would want a BH. But turns out his cows are commercial, so his black baldies will actually bring more than his red calves were. RBBs....Reverse Black Baldies!!!
The cheapest way is to buy Hereford cows and an Angus bull. But, you have to deal with the eye and foot and udder problems of Hereford, The Black Herford has eliminated most of that. even the Black Herefords that are 31/32nds Hereford The most expensive way, but you get a lot better cow, is to buy Angus cows and Herford bull. This dude may have hit on something. Red Angus cows are cheaper to buy than black angus, and are just as good, if not better. Black Hereford bulls are cheaper than Angus bulls , too. Down here black baldies sell for as much as black calves do, and I am sure these calves will sell for more than his commercial red angus calves are. Will be interesting to see how it goes. I am looking for homozygous for black Black Hereford bulls, that are at least 7/8th Hereford. 15/16ths if I can find them.
