[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1783792, member: 40587"] Yes! Hereford would be a good choice More genetic diversity than another Continental, or another Brahma composite or another Angus . When the Char and Simms first came down here, the infamous " cow killer bulls", there was some of the little bitty hereford and Angus we had down here that actually survived birth and the Herefords calved pretty calves that looked like a yellow hereford, Same Herford markings just yellow instead of red. People started crossing their Chars with Simms back then, and those were yellow and white as well. Marked just like the original red & white Simms, but yellow instead of red. They grew a little bigger than the char x herf, and damn did they raise some big calves. and that is what the owners is wanting to..bred for a terminal cross. 23 of these heifers are not red Brangus x Char, they are red ANGUS x Charbray. So, Hereford would be a better choice than red angus, as far as heterosis. Hereford, simm or Fleckveih would all work . Surprised no one picked Braunveih. [/QUOTE]
