[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1342947, member: 9096"] I wouldn't recommend doing it out of wildly different breeds.. Dairy/beef crosses, spotted/black/white etc. With Charolais in the mix, you may or may not get the color diluter gene, and you'll get all sorts of "off" colors (Mouse grey?) Here's one I kept, I am liking his calves so far, but should be bred to solid-red cows [img]https://s20.postimg.org/8i7ve7lgd/20140428_150647+sm.jpg[/img] This spring at 2 years old (and he's grown a whole lot in the last 3 months) [img]https://s20.postimg.org/540mjzbkt/20160309_102348sm.jpg[/img] He bred cow that had identical markings to him.. and I got this. [img]https://s20.postimg.org/qc8fcmau5/IMG_1131sm.jpg[/img] Not what I'm looking for in coloration, but he's built very well. So this year that bull is only breeding solid-colored cows (Brockle faces seem to work alright with him) This was his full brother I sold.. I liked him better actually (they're both Gelbvieh, Shorthorn and Saler) [img]https://s20.postimg.org/z21u2h0t9/IMG_9174_sm.jpg[/img] Here's a close brother Hector (same sire, grandsire and granddam) that I also sold to a friend, he's very happy with him, 4 years old in the picture and has made surprisingly consistent calves [img]https://s20.postimg.org/mrvuf3xp9/20150914_191706sm.jpg[/img] Here's the sire of all 3 of them, Arnold, PB Gelbvieh [img]https://s20.postimg.org/5m0059yl9/IMG_7274-crop+sm.jpg[/img] Some people here seem to be he|| bent on calling any homeraised bull a train wreck.. I don't think that's right, but you can't make a silk purse from a sows ear [/QUOTE]
