[QUOTE="Cucumber35, post: 1364572, member: 25728"] We started with purebred Red Angus and have been breeding to Piedmontese bulls for years. Most of the cow herd now is comprised almost entirely of retained crossbred replacements, and some of which are 3/4 Piedmont if not a few that are more. I pulled 1 calf this year out of 33. Only real issues we've had were breeding a Piedmont to heifers. That year was a disaster. Since then heifers get bred back to a Red Angus bull. After that first one they seem to be fine though. Current bull isn't huge and doesn't throw massive calves but they grow well and the double muscling makes for some nice feeders. To say it's a terminal cross is false in my experience, just have to use some common sense when choosing your bull which should always be the case anyway IMO. [/QUOTE]
