A lot of people in hot climates cross breed with Brahman cattle to give some breeds more heat tolerance. Brahman have large ears and it's passed on to the calf crop so you end up with an eared cattle that shows the Brahman influence. Depending on where you live, "eared" cattle can be discounted at the sale barns for being a different quality of beef, or finishing differently.
ie: Braford- Brahman x Hereford, Brangus- Brahman x Angus, Beefmasters, Gerts, Charbray,... etc.

Good explanation. I sold some just weaned heifers in excellent condition last week (F1 char/angus mostly) and was disappointed in the price paid. Mid eighties for six weights. One of the heifers was F1 Lim/angus (black) and brought the same price as the char/angs (smoky).[/quote]
Mid eighties on six weight eifers is about the average. Those size heifers brought $82 to $94 at Van Zandt County Livestock this past Saturday. http://www.vanzandtcountylivestock.com/ ... EPORT.html
A diffirent sale 185 miles south of us was very similar. At Navasota the 600 -700 lb heifers brought $75 to $90 per cwt. http://www.navasotalivestock.com/market ... _07_11.pdf.
That is all they are worth in this economy.

Cypressfarms,
I hate to hear of your bad experience! I will check around but normally Angus or Angus X, without ear sell the very best here. But I have noted several times that people in your area and Texas seem to have a very different market as cattle with ear are a better their seller than in most other places. Are the cattle bought at stockyards in your area taken to feed lots that are more local? All the cattle bought here seem to go northwest of here in colder climates. Did your baldies equal in weight to your beefmaster calves? You already said the beefmaster calves out weighed the Brangus calves.I think I would create more baldies. It's funny that you were told to head toward contintenal when the baldies sold best.
Post what you find out about the other stockyard's sales. This is very interesting to me.

O.k.,
I talked in great depth with the two local stockyards, and they both pretty much said the same:
Over the last five years or so, the feedyards (or at least the order buyers) have slowly changed to wanting bigger boned, more growth potential calves. These order buyers are supplying feedlots in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Tennessee. They both stated that many of the black steers have become thinner boned, and smaller framed, thus making them somewhat less desirable. And yes, too much angus seems to be a complaint of theirs, but keep in mind that the Angus down south (I'm talking commercial types) are not as big as the angus that are northern friends have. I was able to get a rundown on each type of calf, and what they normally bring (I'm trying to compare baldies, yellow, grays, etc. here). My best interest would definitely be to go torward a simmi bull.
One caveat though. My heifer calves are exactly what local buyers want in a replacement. So since both of these stockyard managers are friends of mine, I asked them their opinion. For heifers, I could stay the same and just market them in the many replacement sales and make more money. This wouldn't help with the steers.
Crossing with a simmi would allow me to have growthier steers, what the order buyers are looking for, and draw a better price. That simmi bull with my cows would also allow me to keep/market replacements. I wouldnt have that advantage with a Charolais.
Looks like I'll head in the direction of a simmi for next year's breeding. I'm still looking at herefords, though, but I think a simmi might be the best for my herd.
At my dad's place he has around 35 brangus very similar to mine but he/I market all of the heifers later as bred replacements. We just closed a deal to a local cattleman that is buying each bred heifer for $1000. What I will do in the meantime is pool my heifers with his to gain the added value. Just coming off of 6 months of hell my herd has slipped. I haven't been able to spend the time that I need to make sure things are right. That's what we all have to do, though, is adapt to the ever changing environment.
I will say that both stockyard managers were surprised to hear me talk of order buyers as "my customer". They thought it wise to talk to the actual buyers, so they are in the process of setting up an informal meeting with myself and them. I have to buy the beers, but I figure that it'll be worth it.

I think its much more important to maintain your market for your females. You are able to earn a premium for them as replacements, you might get a little more for the steers if you change bulls but that probably won't ever match the premium you receive by selling your females as replacements.
So whatever decide to do make sure it won't cut into your heifer market. I think you've got a pretty good handle on it.

Have you gotten a good source on a good Simmi bull in your area? And would it make a difference if it were black/black baldie/ or red? What is the advantage of a Simmi bull over the Charolais in your area?

Cypress IMOO in having dealt with Simms in the south a Simm bull is a mistake. It gets back to handling the heat, humidity and insects of the jungle. Any retained heifers out of the Simm are going to loose value.
Stay the course market your heifers and take a 10 cent a pound hit on the steer calfs your still ahead.
There is just not a lot of breeds that handle the heat well and put pounds on a calf number one is a Brimmer then the old Tiger girls and Brangus,Beefmaster or Gert girls. For the straight breeds Hereford performs second best to Brimmers in this enviroment.
Again IMO you are trying to fix something thats not broken with the Hereford Bull/ Brangus cross.
YOu got to look for quality. Look at the post where the person asks about keeping the bull for breeding... look at the sire... Are you surprised they said too much Angus? The Angus pool has really gotten watered down. They will hit you harder for fine boned than ear.
I know some guys using Simbra bulls and are really happy with them.

Yep, I am still surprised about the too much angus comment. Again, the heifers I have are just what local cattlemen seeking replacements want, but the steers that I sell are destined for feedlots north of me and that take a thumping. That has just changed over the last few years if that long. We don't get hit hard for ear here - not sure if your talking heifers or steers, though.

Cypress - Same here. I see Charlais brining good prices in Carencro and Mansura. Herefords don't sell real good though. For my 'black' calves, I list them in the Market Bulletin, and I get a premium as replacements.

I have very good luck using Simmentals.. and I don't see any more of a problem with them in the heat than any other "non earred" cattle. I use a Simmental bull on everything.. pb simmentals, the 1/2 x 1/2 Simbrahs, and the 3/4 x 1/4 Simbrahs, and get really good calves.
It's like anything other trait .. some individuals are going to be more heat tolerant than others. I bought a bull in Missouri last fall (black, with some white on his head) and he does fine in the heat. It's interesting.. when I go to a registered sale, I really watch for any that are not tolerating the heat well, and stay clear. They seem to pass that trait on to their offspring as well.

Your right, buy cattle that are raised the way you raise your cattle.
