> expert advice Hi, I have seen real good success with breeding purebred Hereford cattle with a black Simmental bull. You will get a big increase in growth of your calves due to the increased hybrid vigor from crossing a British (hereford) type cow with a Continental (Simmental) type bull, over just crossing two British breeds, like Herefore X Angus. Modern Simmental's do not experience any more calving difficulty than modern Angus, so you don't have to worry about that either. The calf would be a black baldy with an excellent disposition and highly sought after on today's market. Another market outlet would to be selling your F1 heifers as herd replacements to another breeder if you didn't want to keep them for yourself. Simmental cross females make outstanding broodcows. Good luck with your new enterprise. I would be interested in hearing how it turns out.
