[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 597150, member: 8978"] Knersie: At the time I was using those American breeders AI bulls that was the type of cattle the market wanted. The hereford breed was trying to put some leg under them so they could compete with the exotics? At that time I was only flirting with crossbreeding and trying to still compete with a straightbred hereford herd. Those days are long gone. In Alberta, Canada the hereford breed has fallen by the wayside. Hardly ever see a straightbred hereford herd anymore. Not too hard to figure out when you see straight hereford calves selling back 10 to 15 cents/lb. from the reds and blacks and usually weighing a lot less. Black cattle seem to have the market right now with good char cross calves doing just about as well price wise but usually weighing more. [/QUOTE]
