[QUOTE="uncle, post: 835166, member: 16697"] I am looking to move towards the grass fed market with a few of my cows and I am considering putting in a different breed of bull in attempt to enhance the calves out of my Brangus cows (currently use Angus bulls). I have heard so much about hybrid vigor and what it can do for your cattle but I want to make the right decision on this. I keep reading about using Shorthorns, Murry Grays & Galloways for example but there seems to not be any clear direction. Our Brangus seem to be fairly large cattle and so much is discussed about maturing early and shrinking down the frame size. We live in north Texas and the Brangus seem to do well in the heat and the cold winters but they just don't appear to be an ideal breed and I'm hoping that some of you guys who are further down the road on this in knowledge and experience might be willing to chime in and help me improve my herd....Thanks!
