[QUOTE="Jake, post: 1464616, member: 4"] I'm in a similar camp. Our market dictates potload lots of black steers. If I can get 90% of my calves to go in one sort through a combination of tighter calving windows and more uniform genetics then that is the most profitable for me. Over the course of time we've had chars, sims, herefords, chi, gelbvieh, red angus, and black angus. The most profitable our herd has been is the higher % angus we get. Calves are more highly desired and our uniformity is incredibly better. I'll admit we have some crossbred cows that did and have done a great job and wean off a great calf. But we have had just as many fail, there isn't the consistency. I think some day we will put a touch of simmy back in the herd but I need to find the right animal and honestly haven't put much effort into finding it. [/QUOTE]
