[QUOTE="BIZIN, post: 699971, member: 5783"] Smnherf....right now we run mostly bbf cows and hereford cows. we breed the best hereford cows back to our hereford bulls and the rest of the hereford cows to welsh black bulls. the BBF cows we breed to black simmental and black gelbvieh bulls and keep the best heifer calves and breed them to sell as bred heifers. because cows are worth nothing right now as culls or as breds, we have kept all the bad bags, bad feet, and poor mothers in a seperate herd and we breed them to charolais bulls. therefore we have no urge to keep any of their offspring. I'm hoping cow prices go up so we can get rid of those cows and get rid of one pasture. For the time being I want to expand our hereford herd and concentrate on their genetics and the quality of that herd. As well as build up our bbf herd with more welshblack X hereford cows. The guy who buy our 1/4 hereford, 1/4 welsh black, 1/4 black simmental or 1/4 black gelbvieh heifers are really pleased with them and have said that when they breed them angus or charolais they have one hell of a set of calves. Reading about the Stabilizers and the other 4 way crosses out there, as well as hearing what our customers have said about our heifers being bred to a 4th breed, has really sparked my interest at developing a composite of my own.
