[QUOTE="KR Cattle Co, post: 1343451, member: 24714"] Nothing wrong with a cross bred bull from a planned breeding. Many breeds allow crossing with Angus. They are registered animals with EPDs. We have used Balancer bulls for several years and have 4 Balancer bulls running with the cows this year. They have DNA enhanced EPDs. 3 of those are home raised. 2 are EXAR Upshot sons. Quality animals with a known history. Our calves are always uniform. We also have a fairly uniform cow herd. Most are PB Gelbvieh or Balancer. Still have a few of Gel X Char or Gel X Herford. I think if someone has a herd with a lot of different breeds in the mix they may be better off with a PB bull. Picking a pretty calf out of the pasture without a known history is a gamble. [/QUOTE]
