[QUOTE="429421blkangus, post: 929184, member: 18647"] I won't comment on the tiger stripe because you are having good luck with the bos indicus strains, more than to say i have seen a huge difference in feed converson and marbling (ie beef quality/cost of production) with the bos taurus breeds in our northern climate in my years of grading and judging beef. In terms of your baldy choice i would go with two straight bred heifers and breed to a hereford bull or another outcross because of the loss of cross breed vigor (hetirosis) after the first generation and put that money in your own pocket. How do you intend to market the calves from these heifers? [/QUOTE]
