[QUOTE="greggy, post: 1610267, member: 38479"] Yeah...makes no sense....seems maybe market is looking for the crosses there. I have watched some sales here with pen of hereford prob yearlings from people who just breed hereford....and pens of black angus either side....price was near same within a few cents when bidding was at the 230c range per kg....essentially, same money.... I can understand why people want the crosses though....if angus cross....good for growth and as cows....I just decided to start with as many Hereford heifer calves as I can handle or get within reasonable distance and cost, I can get crosses, but then I would not know real history, so starting with what I, will my skill and knowledge level, can pretty much know is a reasonable base. Made similar mistake with sheep, people either lie, or, have no clue, sell you an animal as being x or y level, then as you breed to a known commercial ram of same breed...viola...out pops a bit of this...or that...and you go...mmm...ok. Ironically, what some said were the worst animals, have thrown great lambs, that I can at least say are looking like the breed they are supposed too. I am not wanting to buy stud Hereford animals, and the sales and people in the game will tell you anything, therefore my many, many questions. I have too learn fast and on my feet....at least I know what I do buy will always sell, I aint buying no dalmation looking mongrel dairy cross with taurus and indicus in it...... but some have tried selling me all sorts of things.
