[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 248588, member: 2095"] A lot of Hereford breeders are adding a second breed. Deshazer added a Red Angus herd. Randy Owen added a Black Angus herd. So did EE (a long time ago). The Debters will have some Black Angus bulls and females at their fall sale. Hirsche also sells both breeds and I "think" Harper does too. Knoll Crest sells Angus, Herefords, Gelbviehs, composites, and who knows what else. Dr Ritchie has been predicting that seedstock producers were going to begin to offer multiple breeds to their customers. I don't know enough about Hill's operation to know whether he is prepared for a second breed or not; but in theory 2 breeds is probably the way to go for larger breeders. I probably would have gone with the more conventional Hereford and Black Angus pairing; but black Gelbviehs offer more raw pounds and would still generally pass for CAB when crossed with a Herf. IF I was a multi-multi millionaire (not likely) and wanted to spend it getting in the seedstock biz in a big way, 2 or 3 breeds DOES give the customers that "one stop" shopping advantage. [/QUOTE]
