[QUOTE="SEC, post: 229724, member: 3241"] We used to run a few crossbred bulls, they were simmXangus. The long and the short of it was that they were either simmental or Angus they weren't a combination of both. The first one weighed 1800lbs as a 5 year old bull and would calve heifers like a damn, straighten color up and left a nice set of calves. The 2nd bull throw more Simmy like calves, more birthweight, more ears, more frame. The common denominator between those bulls was they didn'tgive us enough hair. The calves we sold off those bulls were a nickel off the top of the market, buyers said they needed hair. I am not a fan of the hybrid bull as it's a discredit to the purebred Industry. Also, if all it takes is a few breeds and a crossbred bull to make these composites it becomes easier for people to sell them. Selling breeding stock is far more than raising cattle with nuts. Integrity, honesty and a passion for improving the cattle industry should be the 1st things said when it comes to being a breeder. With most people screaming for consistency, i am not sure how hybrid bulls are going to help that out. [/QUOTE]
