[QUOTE="BC, post: 307795, member: 67"] How much Gert influence do you want in your cow herd. If you take your Gert X cows and breed them back to a Santa Gertrudis you will get 3/4 or more Santa Gertrudis heifers and steers. The heifers would cross excellently with the Charolais, BUT your 3/4 steers would recieve some discount. May I suggest breeding to a Red Angus or Hereford to save your replacements. Those two breeds really cross well with Gerts. After you have saved some of their heifers, it will be time to go back and use a Gert or Beefmaster to keep some southern hybrid vigor in the cow herd.
