[QUOTE="ohiocattle, post: 142817, member: 2663"] Right now I am just raising cattle as a hobby but would like to be more involved and thus was wondering about the most profitable route. I was thinking about trying to produce some "black baldies" as they seem to be selling high all over (I know they are not a "breed" but a cross). Also I was debating as to using an angus heifer/hereford bull or vice versa. I have heard that angus heifers make better cows than herefords and might be less of a risk a calving. Lastly I've been told to try artificial insemination instead of keeping a bull around although others have told me this wasn't a good idea because you don't know what you are exactly getting. Also I wasn't sure how high of a success rate it has. 1.) Best breed to start off with? 2.)Best combination of breed of bull & heifer to use for "black baldies"? 3.)To artificially inseminate or not?
