Wouldn't I gain more vigor using a continental breed?

if you did read up some posts between me and RedBullBreeder and you can see him always put me down for no reason. He's a nice folk isn't it?

If you read enough of Taurus post you see vast cattle knowledge expressed nearly everyday on here.
But to my way of thinking you can't get a 3way cross out of GVxHer cow using a limflex or simangus bull. A balancer bull would give you a little bit of a 3way cross. Its not a problem to find purebred Homo black limi or simmi. A heavy muscled angus would work as well.

I've got to keep all the calves black, plus Angus & Simmental are all the rage around these parts so like it or not I'm going to have to use one of those 2 as my terminal cross anyway. Personally I like colored cattle & if I had my way I'd probably have a field full of shorthorns.

Looks like you answered your own question here

I'm going to pick up my foundation Hereford cows in Dec & will be AI'ing them in the late spring in order to calve. So I need to start doing some homework on a good maternal homo black GV bull. Anyone have any leads?
Also if I buy horned Hereford cows & breed them to a polled GV bull the calves will all be polled, right?
