[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 513740, member: 1258"] Angus/Hereford or Red Angus/Hereford are good cows that are hardy. Speaking from experience with the red angus/hereford cross I can tell you that I would stick with a Red Angus or Angus bull. I like Charolais cattle so I am not trying to bad mouth them as a breed. In a warmer climate they do great. Here though the calves are just not the get up and go kind. Our red angus calves are up and nursing at -30, the Charolais would on the most part rather freeze to death and die. Add on to that the pulls and we found that although the gold calves sell for a bit more (at some sales, not all) we saw more profit in our pockets with a Red Angus bull. I'm not just telling you that because we now breed registered Red Angus, we now breed registered Red Angus because of what I just told you. I truly believe in this breed as being thrifty, cold weather, easy calving cattle that are just what we need. [/QUOTE]
