[QUOTE="u4411clb, post: 1068946, member: 17248"] I know you know your cattle mainly because I have bought some from you and they are looking great but to give my opinion on these bulls in the post. There is a wide range in phenotype in any breed but Hereford has a wider range in my opinion. I myself had some larger frame harder doing large Hereford bulls that I was breeding to Black Angus type Brangus type cows. Those are the type of bulls that I saw on the link provided. I took all those calves to sale barn. Once I decided to start making some of my own replacements I went to a completely different type of Hereford one that is a smaller frame score and looks as wide as it does tall you could balance a lunch room tray on its back and eat off of it with no problem. This type I am describing looks as if it has received a feed bucket even though it hasn't. With all the grass we had this spring and summer for those bulls condition in the video to look like that makes them seem like that could be hard doers. When breeding to Gerts that are larger framed animals you won't have to worry about frame from the Hereford bull and really don't have to over emphasize ww epd. A middle of the road ww and yw epd will do fine because the cross breeding kick you get from Brahman influenced breeds over Herefords will more than make up the difference. Be it Gert, Brangus, or Brahman over Hereford you will get a cross breeding kick like no other cross imo. With that cross for replacements I look for a fleshy easy doing Hereford with good feet and great disposition and medium milk that is very early maturing everything else ww, yw, milk, eyes and frame the Gert will handle.
