All depends on the individuals within those breeds that you use. I'd run a Guppy bull on baldy cows myself.

My most productive purchased cows are simi/angus or simi/hereford. Just need to avoid the big crosses and the poor milking hereford lines.
My best looking heifers are shorthorn/balancer. We will see how they do as cows.
I have purchased a lot of hereford cows recently, and I had a BA bull on them. Nice wf calves, but not as growthy or as muscled up as shorthorn/balancer. Next year I will move to balancer bull on herefords.
