[QUOTE="TwoByrdsMG, post: 1708463, member: 37975"] Well Joe, I personally do not like having black cattle at all when the summer heat comes on. Excellent point that the market is a little different down there than I am picturing though. So with that in mind, I would still pick up moderate mature red simmental (or RA) mamas and dark grey murray mamas. I would still use a terminal bull for most of the herd as a live cleanup Black Brangus bull. Spend the first 3 weeks of breeding season doing AI of the best ones, then heat detection tags and turn out after that with the cleanup bull. Keep replacements out of the AI herd and any non-black heifers from the cleanup bull. Castrate all bull calves out of the herd bull. [/QUOTE]
