[QUOTE="dun, post: 1373304, member: 34"] CG is right. Stick with purebred bulls. We have a strange combination of breeds that seem to work for us. Everything is Red Angus based. Some are crossed with Simmenthal and some with Gelbvieh, some with Polled Hereford. We've pretty much settled on using either a Polled Hereford or Red Angus on the Simmenthal and Gelbvieh crossed cows. AI to Polled Hereford and cleaned up with Red Angus. The straightbred Red Angus are bred to Red Angus. The crossbred heifers are bred back to one of the continentels that are in the mix or bred to the opposite of what their sire is. Red Angus sired bred to Polled Hereford, Red Angus sired bred to Polled Hereford. But everything gets cleaned up with Red Angus since we only have or want one bull on the place. It's worked well for us, but it also includes pretty ruthless culling of replacment heifers and only keeping or selling for breeding those that pretty much flourish on our KY31. [/QUOTE]
