I would suggest that I have seen some Herefords, particularly Canadians, that would make terminal sires. Huth's have a bull they call "Tank" that is incredibly thick and muscular.
Harbull":maad9fib said:I have 250, 1250# mature 1/4 ear crossbred cows. I will need to purchase 10 bulls to re-breed them this spring. The cows have a lot of Angus/Beefmaster influence. Most of the cattle are red,dun, but some are wildly colored, about 1/4 is black.
I'm not going to keep any hiefers as replacements.
I'm not concerned with calving problems, or the show ring.
98% of my concern is pounds at weaning, but having the calves at a marketable color with no ear would be icing on the cake, because I will be selling the calves in lot loads. (probably on video)
My orginal thinking was Black Simi, Black Limi, but I'm wondering if they are as thick boned as thier red brothers. Is this true? So now I'm also considering Charlois.
I've been out of comercial cow business for the last 10 years, I'm looking for un-biased recomendation with reasoning.
I know there are good and bad bulls in every breed.
I want a big butted breed recomended to me that "consistentaly" has the biggest baddest bulls!
Thank you!

Look to your old time neighbors who have been running cattle for thirty or more years. Most of these fancy smancy breeds are to seperate cattlemen from there money. Remember its about controlling front end cost, and beef on the hoof at the salebarn.
