[QUOTE="u4411clb, post: 1159859, member: 17248"] Best cow I have found for my environment in North Alabama. And not saying that because I sell them. Anyone I have will not be for sale and actually just bought 4 more. You get just enough ear to fight the heat and the ticks and the mosquitos and flies. But the calves are only 1/4 gert if bred to Black Angus so the calves show no ear. The Calves with a Black Angus bull look like Brockled face black hided cattle. The amount of white on the face varies. You get enough milk from the Gert side but not too much. You get the mothering ability of the gert and the gentleness from most Hereford. Which is a cow gentle enough to work with but will fight to the death to protect her calf. The Hereford tends to take care of the late maturing in some Gerts or Brahman crosses. It also helps with the fleshing that can be harder in some Gerts or Brahman crosses. I don't think pink eye or cancer eye is ever a problem. The calves tend to grade well being 50 % Angus and 25% Hereford . The trick is to get the yield grade but that is not a bad problem to have. [/QUOTE]
