[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 722541, member: 1715"] I have a put together herd that contains all the major breeds in some fashion. I tend to buy 1000 to 1200# rwf females since they are good mothers and sell at a discount. My best looking calves come out of the GV, shorthorn, or simi cross cows. I think they tend to milk a little better and have more muscle than the average straight bred english. Size wise my GV run smaller than average and the simi/limi crosses run larger than average. My wife's two pet cows are both simi/angus crosses. Really nice cows but too big for my taste. I think the GV cross are a lot more efficient and still easy to handle. So the plan this year is to cull the biggest cows, buy back smaller mostly hereford replacements, and cover them with a balancer bull. [/QUOTE]
