[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1819483, member: 42463"] Well Murray, if black, white faced calves with no noticeable ear are what you want, then that kind of limits your choices. But that's okay. We all have images in our head of what we prefer. So you need something homo black... Angus, Sim, Lim, BH, probably not Brangus. And you need something that will put a brockle face on as many calves as possible. That's the limiting factor, really. That leaves a Sim with a white face or a black Hereford. Personally I'd go for a homo black Lim to put the meat on and get good consistency, but there are other bulls with meat if you look. I've never done anything with either Sim or black Hereford, but I have with straight Hereford. I think they get a bad rap mainly because the CAB thing had to make enemies of all the other breeds, and Hereford was the most popular at the time. Herefords are much better cattle than many people give them credit for in present times. I think you'll do well with either BH or a white faced Sim. Depth, muscle, and moderate calf weights... and growth once they are on the ground. You know the drill... [/QUOTE]
