Last year I bought 25 Santa Gertrudis X Hereford Heifers bred to Red Angus bulls. Amazingly I got 21 heifer calves all keepers. Plan to breed them to calve about 24-26 months. They are all good framed and should weigh about 850+ at breeding time. What breed bull would you use to breed these 1/4 SG X 1/4 Hereford X 1/2 RA heifers? I am leaning heavily toward a black Gelvieh because of the muscling, disposition, maternal traits, and it seems the market here is for anything black, but I would like to hear others' opinions.
