[QUOTE="ANAZAZI, post: 902522, member: 7541"] There is almost no difference in maturing age or any other important traits between angus and herefords, they are very much alike.A hereford over angus gives about the same results as angus over angus, plus the obvious heterosis benefits both as weaning weights, feeder calves, and as F1 mother cows. Running 120 cows mean you use three or four bulls; and I am guessing you are replacing only one. If the new one will be a hereford, then put him on the blacks and save your angus bulls for the baldies, this will lower the risk of red calves. Lack of hair on simmethals is just rediculous. I have a friend who outwinters simmenthals in the mountains just under the tree line; with no problems regarding lack of hair. I like composites, but not particularly that composite you mention. What other breeds do you consider? [/QUOTE]
