[QUOTE="Big Bucks, post: 1255950, member: 23333"] Bens sire is a French bull named Andalou and his dam is a Ushuaia daughter that came from France as an embryo herself. I bought the recip cow confirmed bred with a bull calf of this exact mating from Darren Unruh of Walnut Crest Cattle Company in Kansas. This calf has exceeded my expectations. He is growing like a weed, is very well muscled and getting thicker by the day. In my opinion Aubracs are the best kept secret in the cattle industry. I think their strength is in the female side of the equation although calves sired by Aubrac bulls grow extremely well and also yield and grade very well. If I had a commercial herd I would be getting some Aubrac blood in my cow herd. These girls live and even thrive on poorer forages, calve easily without assistance, breed back like clockwork and are long-lived. I would think that an Aubrac X Hereford cow would survive/thrive on pastures that would have other cattle looking like Ethiopians; breed those cows to a good black bull and the resulting calves would turn heads at any auction whether sold as feeders or as finished animals. Personally, I am working with a small herd and plan to cross the Aubracs with Piedmontese and develop a specialty beef market. [/QUOTE]
