[QUOTE="twabscs, post: 257349, member: 2004"] Hi All, Well I'm six months into the cattle business and I have learned a lot during that time. I started with 10 sale-barn pairs back in Feb and they are a hodge podge of Black Angus, Herefords, BWF, and one Gert. The calf crop isn't consistent as each most likely came from a different sire, etc. So, I'm ready to buy "quality" now and am looking at BA, RA, and Hereford (and Xs) as my core herd. I like a bit of variety and a red, black, and R/BWF herd is what I'm after. My basic question is around having both BA and RA and what one would do for a herd bull in that situation. Is the Red or Black gene dominant? What kind of calves would I get if I cross a BWF with a RA bull, a BA with a RA bull, etc. Does anyone else do this or should I just stick with BA or RA and herefords and not mix the Angus colors, etc. Thanks!
