[QUOTE="gallowaygirl, post: 734842, member: 8844"] So, we raise purebred White Galloways primarily. However, I have a few crossbred and unregistered heifers that I am considering AI-ing to different breeds next year. Looking for input as to everyone's idea's as to what to cross them with. Two are Angus/Galloway crosses that will be around 2yrs at calving this June, the other is a purebred Galloway that will be 4 when we AI later this year. My only restrictions are that I am hoping to stay away from Angus and Angus X cattle (SimAngus, Brangus, etc) not because of prejudice, just have had a consistent issue with "black" cattle, angus or not, and disposition. We have lots of color and like to keep it interesting! Also, low birthweights would be preferred (under 75lbs) ;-) Also, heat-tolerant breeds probably will not work, although they are a possibility. The bull calves will be strictly terminal, and heifers may or may not be kept as commercial cows depending on quality! Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
