[QUOTE="ShuterSunset, post: 583138, member: 7662"] They work great in crossbreeding programs. We have been crossing them some. We used a chi-angus bull back 15 years ago to try to get some black show steers for the county fair. We still have one of the first black half blood cows that was born from that cross and she is 15 and I doubt if you could pick her out of the herd as being the oldest, and she probably has the best performing calf of this years calf crop on her. We had a half blood steer that we put in a state wide carcass show about 10 years ago while they still had that program and he was reserve grand overall, among all sorts of breeds and crosses. I also have some Simmental x Red Poll halfbloods that I would put up against any commercial cow in the country. I am hoping once we get an opportunity to expand our herd, to develop a planned crossbreeding program to sell replacements to the commercial guys in the state because our experience shows that they work great. I think that using a continental breed on them to add some grow and retail product would work the best. [/QUOTE]
