[QUOTE="BLACKPOWER, post: 46022, member: 92"] I run hereford and angus bulls, personally I'll never run a herford bull on yearling heifers, Angus breeders are the undisputed champions of calving ease, (save for Longhorns but we're not calving out jack rabbits here). Everyone I know that runs herford bulls never puts them on first calf heifers, you can sleep a little easier at night that way. As far as sacrificing heterosis forget it, your main goal that first year is to get her to calve on her own, raise a live calf, and breed back in time to calve with the main herd. [/QUOTE]
