[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1462785, member: 22295"] We took cattle to a local sale barn last Friday. They sold around 3,000 hd. I walked the cat walks a few times and watched just a few sell. There was one group of nice 3-4 y/o bred Hereford cows that sold well. The only straight Herefords in the pens. Around 60% straight blacks, at least 30% black baldies, then 10% various mixes. Only a handful of Char crosses. 3 years ago I saw several but very few now and they are docked. A few of the Simmie white faces and less than 10 hd of limmie crosses. There was a few alleys I didn't walk. The Hereford black baldies topped the sale, the straight Angus blacks just behind them and everything else depending on quality 5 dollars a hundred or more behind. We can get as much growth out of our straight Angus as most get with their crosses. Do get a bump when crossed with good Herefords. Currently we have purchased some Hereford heifers and plan to buy some more and use our Angus bulls on them. In todays market in this area I feel you need to have an Angus base or use a good Angus bull on Hereford cows if you want to consistently sell at the top of the market. I know it varies by area and so every breeder has to do what sells best in their area. Only saw one bunch of straight Red Angus and one bunch of Red Angus crosses. So hard to get a good feel on them but they sold just back of the top straight black Angus. [/QUOTE]
