So It's up to Stardust Max to hit that home run for me. Quess I failed to mention I also have about 15 head of Pure black angus, Also retained the hieffers off of them bred with red angus & Black brangus bull. Like I said working on it, Just wanted a little feed back good & bad

Probably end up with some nice keep able heifers out of that 3 cross also.

aplusmnt":3t6450w1 said:Curious, never really hear anyone mentioning much about using Red Angus down south. Lots of talk about how the Black Angus do not hold up in the heat of Texas. How about the Red Angus could they not be used successfully say on Tiger Stripes, Brahman's or Herefords? Seems a Red Angus and Char might be a good cross for hot areas?
