[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1763161, member: 42463"] I had a Char/SG cross (one of my favorite crosses) and bred her AI to a Chi... and the resulting heifer was awe inspiring. I had every neighbor in the area offering to buy her. A meaty, easy keeping, little Hereford bull jumped the fence and he must have had a step ladder with him because he got her bred. She weaned that first calf at 825 pounds. If we weaned calves like that as standard procedure they wouldn't have to be backgrounded and could go straight to a feedlot... and they'd finish faster both weight and finish... and we'd all be selling calves for more money per pound because it would be a cost savings to the feedlots. (Well, if we were smart enough to insist on a higher price.) [/QUOTE]
