[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1651650, member: 40587"] Well, don't see why they wouldn't. The Brangus x Black Hereford will be superior to red Hereford x Brangus black baldies, in that these replacement heifers will be homozygous black. And replacement heifers were their goal in these crossings. Breed them to a black bull, and you will get a black calf. Same thing with the Chi-angus x Brangus ultra blacks. They are homozygous black,. and will wean a bigger calf than the Angus x Brangus ultra blacks will. They told me yesterday that they intend to breed any of those heifers they keep, to a Black Hereford bull as well. Dunno what these Black Brafords will do, as I don't know what color genes white Brahmans carry. These f1s will be at least heterozygous black, so should do well bred to black Simmentals, Limousines, etc. I had a few f1 Brafords over the years, and have known others that had a lot. I always considered f1 Brafords to be excellent mommas. Any of the ones I ever had, seemed to get their temperment and docility from the Hereford parent. [/QUOTE]
