Black baldies or good white face cattle sell well in my area. I have a herd of horned hereford cows and I have been using a good black angus bull on them as well as a red angus plus bull on them. I have been pleased with the results of each cross. The cows milk well and are easy keepers. But I am considering trying something different in order to increase my weaning weights at selling time.
I am considering using a homozygous black and polled simmental bull on the herefords to produce black baldies.
Has anybody had any luck with that cross? And could females from that cross be used as replacements?
What are the Pros and cons off the simmental hereford cross vs the black angus hereford cross?
Thanks for any comments.
