[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 702878, member: 6713"] I will second 2 suggestions you have had here. Gelbvieh cross very well with Hereford and so do Red angus. If you are looking to change bulls to accomplish this, remember it will always come down to the individual bull of a given breed. Make sure with a herd that size yu get something VERY mellow and easy to work with. About 30 min after I wrote this it dawned on me that you can have both. Look around for a Gelbvieh breeder in your area and inquire about the possibility of helping you find a RED Balancer bull. That would give you 1/2 hereford, 1/4 Gelbvieh, and 1/4 Red Angus. You would still get plenty of marbling from the two British breeds and some heterosis and growth from the Gelbvieh. [/QUOTE]
