[QUOTE="machslammer, post: 1292031, member: 20421"] I currently have a Charolais bull breeding to baldies and black hided cows. He is calve ease bull in the Char breed and throws 70-80# Heifers and 90-105# Bulls. They grow off really nice as well. I usually just sell at the stock barns.. My problem is I can only run about 15 momma cows and the bull at my current "hobby" farm. I would like to start marketing heifers and then sale the steers at barn or what not.. What would you do? I have all black/BWF cows already.. What would you use as a bull for selling heifers? Attempt at selling the Char cross outta him now, or go buy a horned/polled Hereford for Baldy Heifers? Will a horned always throw a horned calf? The Char is calving ease and still throws good sized calves, but with keeping in the English breed of Hereford, if I go that route, should I get a balanced/terminal bull for weight growth? Had a polled calving ease hereford prior, and had such small calves that grew just ok and the muscling was poor.. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
