Kiku: Are you trying to develop a new breed or are you trying to become the Leachman of the south developing composite bulls to sell to commercial cattlemen.
One reason that black cattle are so popular is that typically, except in certain cases like yours, the resulting cattle are black.
This is a very simple way to seek uniformity, which when buyers are purchasing cattle for feedlots, they are usually willing to pay more for. Now I said that this is a simple way, it is not necessarily a good way.
Because there is a lot more to uniformity than coat color, which is what Doc is trying to tell you.
Let's pretend for a moment that coat color is all that matters. You will not get uniformity from Using these crossbred bulls. You will get a variety of shades. Everyone that knows cattle knows this.
Could you let us know what your ultimate objective is? Are you raising cattle for the grassfed market like you indicated earlier?
Are you trying to raise and sell these bulls to others?
Are you planning to use them yourself?
From what I have gathered from your posts, you have spent the money for these two bulls that you now own and want to use them.
I don't know if you will respond to this, but if I was trying to raise cattle for the grass market, I would find a smaller framed more efficient on grass breed than charolais. So I would sell out, and buy some cattle that will work for whatever your plan is. Ask Springer about the Murray greys
, or whoever but what people are trying to tell is that right now with what you have shown us, you have a tough row to hoe.
I hope this helps, and I hope you respond.
