Years ago I bought some F1 baldy heifers from a registered hereford breeder using a registered angus bull. Though not "registerable", are such cattle capable of being used as seedstock in the commercial cattle industry?
I put a registered simmental bull on these heifers and they produced some GREAT offspring. Can/should they be used as potential herd sires or replacement heifers in a commercial herd acknowledging the EPD problems?
Keep in mind I am a registered angus seedstock supplier. I have sold none of these commercial cattle off the farm for anything but terminal applications. I HAVE kept heifers to stock my commercial herd.
