[QUOTE="Logan52, post: 1691904, member: 32879"] Several years ago I had a small herd of registered Red Poll cattle. Loved their docility and fertility but got tired of the discount in price that resulted from the red color. Bought a nice Charolais bull and kept all the heifers for two years. They grew out really well, beautiful yellow cows that matured around 1500 lbs. and were calf raising machines. But what to breed them to? Bought a nice black Angus bull and got half solid black calves and half smokes. Same with a SimAngus bull I have used most recently. Thinking about keeping heifers again. If I keep only the solid black ones will I lessen the number of smokey calves that result? Or will the roughly half and half (black and smoke) continue? [/QUOTE]
