[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1660306, member: 22295"] [B]I don't know your region and what sells well there. In this area good performance bred Angus calves and Hereford/Angus baldies top the market. And or Angus & baldie calves will weigh as much at weaning as our neighbors Char, Sim & Limmie crosses and sell better. Even if they are all black or a baldie it is easy for a buyer tell if they have Simmie or Limmie in them. IMO when the Simmie went black they reduced the frame size and lost the growth they once had. I know some feedlot managers and they prefer no more than a 1/4 Simmie or Limmie. We use both Angus and Horned Hereford bulls. We will have a few red baldies and they sell right on our groups and sell at the top. For 60 cows 2 bulls should be enough. In this area if I was doing it I would buy one god performance Angus and one good Horned Hereford bull. But again you need to raise what sells best in your area.[/B] [/QUOTE]
