[QUOTE="randyalexander, post: 1782253, member: 42971"] Ya'll have certainly gave some good and entertaining perspectives! I knew that if we decided to go with a black bull in the future that the calves would do well because the cows were all bred to a Brangus bull when we bought them. All of the calves were either black or charcoal colored with black noses and they sold very well. But my wife loves Hereford/red cattle so we thought we would try the Hereford bull out and see how we did, and her love for red is why we are considering a red angus bull in the future. So far I have had no complaints on my Hereford influenced calves as all of ours were in the top 50% of the price range for their weight range in the week that they sold, if not in the top 25%. My next question is, we have also considered trying to sell yearling heifers off the place or at replacement female sales. For that do certain breeds tend to sell better as replacement heifers? I'm originally from Oklahoma and I grew up around Black baldy cows, so my first instinct is to want to go that direction. But I hear mixed opinions on whether or not I need some ear in my cattle being this far south. Right now my cows have less than 20% brahman influence to none. Again thanks for all the input and the warm welcomes! [/QUOTE]
