[QUOTE="angus9259, post: 797957, member: 7398"] Back to the question . . . It seems - per your first two posts - that if . . . 1. smokes do really well in the sale ring and 2. you'd really like some 1/2 char, 1/4 simi, 1/4 angus calves 3. you have a char based herd that you like and want to move toward . . . Then, you're going to need an angus or simi-angus bull. BUT since we can't recommend Angus AND you want 1/4 angus calves . . . well . . . not sure how to infuse angus genetics without using angus genetics. That said, you didn't ask what suggestions people had for your particular operation - just what bull you would use to market fast gaining and feed efficient cattle. So - IF we're talking about your herd (char) and you want the aforementioned 3 way cross - the answer is obvious but already eliminated by your own criteria. However, IF you're talking GENERALLY about what bull a person would recommend, well then it would seem to me we'd need more info about what type of cows the bull would cover. Therefore - I stand mute on the issue :???: [/QUOTE]
