[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 7420"] I'm guessing that you could stand to have a little more muscle expression in the cattle if they are purebred Polled Herefords. I would encourage you to breed them to a Limousin, Simmental or Gelbvieh bull. Since black calves are bringing premiums in most parts of the country I would encourage you to use a homozygous black bull from one of these breeds. The resulting calves will be black baldies. Many feeders will pay premiums for black baldies since they are eligible for either the Certified Angus Beef or Certified Hereford Beef programs. In general Gelbviehs and Simmentals also have good dispositions so you should be able to maintain the gentleness of your cattle by using either one of these breeds. T [/QUOTE]
