[QUOTE="Bullitt, post: 1473416, member: 31518"] I was curious why crossing two British breeds works so well. I am guessing Angus and Hereford are not closely related. I also understand the Brangus X Hereford would work better in the South. It seems if you cross an Angus or Brangus with a Hereford and get a baldy or super baldy, and then cross those heifers with a continental breed like a black Simmental you would have mostly black cattle to satisfy the market and hopefully get the heterosis of a three-breed cross. It may not be as good as the Braford X continental cross (in the South) that was discussed, but I would guess it would be a pretty good cross. It may also be a cross that works well in more regions of the country. [/QUOTE]
