Crossbreeding Question

[ncboy34]

Have a heard of all black angus cows and have used a black bull last year or so. He has been sold and I am wanting to do some crossbreeding. I would like to get baldy calves out of them and am looking into hereford bulls but has anyone used a baldy bull before? I have seen what look like black herefords which I assume are just baldies. Would these be just as good as a hereford bull? Seems like I read somewhere that they make great mama cows but not herd sires.

Baldies will not throw all baldies with your cows. Buy a good herf bull and laugh all the way to the bank!

If you want baldies get a Hereford Bull, but understand that you aren't really gaining alot this way --genetically-- by breeding 2 breeds like hereford and Angus together (two english breeds bred together is not going to change your genotype and phenotype too much.

Yep that Hereford/Angus cross won't give you much.....that's why folks quit doing it years ago :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

LISTEN TO 3 WAY....
use a good hereford bull....
there is plenty of heterosis between angus and hereford....they are the ones that discovered it....
consistent and predicatable....

Breeding your black to a crossed up baldy
And you'll lose some benefits of hetrosis
I like the idea of a good herf too if your looking for Baldies.

3way is right a Herford bull is the way to go.
