[QUOTE="BRG, post: 596394, member: 2397"] Alot of our customers breed Angus to Angus for a couple reasons. First a nice uniform set of red hided or black hided calves ussually do sell better here. They will problably loose in the weight area, but they do sell a bit better. But then again, most of our customers sell loads of 6 weight calves in October and calve in March/April. Not to shabby. The main reason our customers breed red to red is for the marketability is their replacement heifers. If they look straight Red Angus they seem to get a big premium, from steer price up to $25/cwt. That really adds up, and that is ussually their second hand heifers as they keep a group for themselves. It is hard to turn down an extra $100 a head on their heifers. I think Crossbreeding if done right is an awesome deal, but if it isn't, their can be big wrecks both in the pasture, and for marketing. Both crossbreeding and straight breeding needs to be carefully planned out to work like it should. [/QUOTE]
