[QUOTE="50/50Farms, post: 1783710, member: 42731"] The big reason I said simmental is because if you account for the inherent genetics of Simmental, the daily rate of gain of Charolais, and the Red Brangus genetic combo on its own, you're really looking at something. You're looking at heterosis, you're looking at fast gainers, you're looking at a quadruple whammy for mothering. It's my opinion and it's worth what you paid for it, but the heifers would be marketable on the private market and the steers would do fine at the sale barn despite any possible color issues just on rate of gain alone. They'll likely be lunkers. You also know some order buyers, and that'll sell them on buying the lot, private treaty. If it makes you feel any better, go black on the bull. [/QUOTE]
