[QUOTE="badroute, post: 479039, member: 1387"] Interesting discussion. I can relate as I run straight black cows and run black bulls along with hereford bulls also. I sell all the steer calves right off the cow and my baldies are usually 40 pounds heavier. I have heard of the difference being as much as 80 pounds but that is an extreme case in being that fella nver ran very good bulls to start with until he bought a few good hereford bulls to put on his black cows. The thing about hereford bulls in my area is that they are cheap. Quality-wise a $3000 hereford bull would be equal to a $6 or 8000 angus bull. I sort my heifer calves, baldies from straight blacks and keep the straight blacks as replacements. The real kicker in the deal is that I am able to send a potload of baldie replacement heifers back east and am able to get better than steer price for them. I dont mean to brag or toot my own horn but this is a good example of the baldie advantage. And by the way I dont put my hereford bulls on my bottom end cows. I run the hereford bulls and black bulls together in almost every breeding pasture. [/QUOTE]
