[QUOTE="Australian Cattleman, post: 89751, member: 285"] Bez we have crossed them with both black and red Angus with excellent results. You get hybrid vigour,you tone any Angus temperament problems down also you maintain the black colour unless you have split gene cattle. The South Devon's brown colouring is very dominant, usually you get blacks out of blacks but if they have a hint of the red Angus gene thay are likely to be brown then. Here in Australia a composite has been developed called "Australis" using South Devon and Angus. I suspect that there are a number of Angus breeders here that already use SDs giving the credit for higher weight cattle to ? Angus. Several years ago the SD society was asked to annex the development of Australis,tapping into the then enormous Angus gene pool. The backward thinking society decided not to accept the proposal. Hence the sluggish spread of South Devons here in Australia Love our SDs Colin [url=http://www.southdevonbeefcattle.com.au]http://www.southdevonbeefcattle.com.au[/url] [/QUOTE]
