[QUOTE="RCP, post: 701375, member: 4181"] From the beginning( about 20 + years ago )I have tried to raise black baldy calves. I had mostly black cows and I bought a reg. poll hereford with them.1st calf crop mostly blk baldies. Same cows, same bull, next year, mostly red/white calves. I sold the bull. I tried reg. red angus and got all kinds of colors,some blk,some red, some blk/white spotted, some red /white spotted. I had some holstein. influence in the cows , but have sold off most of them) I sold the bulls.(2) Have a blk saler on the black cows now, several brangus in the bunch,good calves no problem but not the black baldies I want ! I have found a herd of black baldies and wonder about buying a black baldy bullcalf and raising him and trying that. What are the odds of finally getting mostly black baldy calves??? ( I saw a reg. black hereford advertised in the paper for $ 2,850. I bet he was good, ) but out of my normal price range. Give me your thoughts please, I sure would appreciate it. rcp [/QUOTE]
