[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1819158, member: 40587"] Thank you! At last, someone stayed on topic! ANd yeah, I agree about the other breeds. In fact, I started to tell him about a couple of other options today, but decided what I said is enough to digest at one time, and that these suggestions were safe. He has been[I] bombarded[/I] with expert advice from others about every breed there is, including bison and water buffalo! And dairy! We gonna buy [I]cows[/I], not heifers for him to start out with. And I am not gonna buy for him. I am going to take him to see cows, and help him pick out the ones to buy. Explain to him why I think this cow would be good, this one not so good, etc. Giving that we are buying cows, I started to suggest considering a black Simm bull for the Hereford and Braford cows. And still might get one or some semen for some of those cows that first year. And, we already bought the Chi-Angus x Black Simm heifers the dude Clay helped over the 4th will wean next July. We are looking at a couple of years off, but once we get the first calf out of them, in 2026, I would have no problem selling them to him to use where he is using Angus and Brangus cows in his program. But for now, I don't feel like I have done him a dis-service, having him cut his teeth on the Ole Reliable, black baldies. I think Brahma influence would be good in your area. Maybe not Brahma or F1'ss, but certainly composites and composite crosses, like Ultrablack and the increasingly popular Gert x Herefords. Starting to see a lot of BM cows being bred to Black Simm, SimmAngus, and Angus, too. [/QUOTE]
