[QUOTE="jangothecattledog, post: 649784, member: 11267"] Hi, Need some advice on 6-8 pairs I am looking at. They are 7-8 year old Gelbvieh x Santa Gertrudis crossed.( 6 are Black) ( 2 are white) Very long /tall/lean cows with nice calves from a registered Gelbvieh bull. I am thinking of keeping 2-3 of the heifer calves and selling the bull calves @ 500#s + . I have a registered Angus bull that throws stout calves and wanted to breed the 8 cows back and keep heifers off that cross as my keeper herd. I currently have another 10 pairs of angus/brangus commercial pairs and one registered anugus. Is the Santa Gertrudis going to penalize me on the sale of the 1 st calves from this purchase? Are the ears going to "hang" around on the Angus cross? The older farmer has had this herd for about 20 years started with Brahman x Angus then Gelbvieh bulls and added the Santa Gertrudis for height. Thoughts ???????? Or should I stay with the angus look and look for pairs with the smaller ear. I may have to sale barn some calves and not sure how the ear will affect this? I am new so excuse my ignorance. Blessings, VH [/QUOTE]
