[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 21652"] Or maybe consider black or red baldy cows and then for added heterosis breed to a Continental terminal sire? Charolais make for a real good terminal sire on the indicus/taurus cows down in my neck of the woods and would probably be good in your area on the English/English cows --- though not recommended for heifers IMHO. Or with Simmental or Gelbvieh sires you would have a growthy terminal-type Continental sire that you could probably just as well keep replacements out of, and you can get both of those in black. But I guess the first thing I woud do is to roam around and talk with the locals that actually make their living in the cattle business. Check around and see what grows & sells best in your area and determine how you plan to market your calves. And if you can, try to get some meaningful input to help you determine how 100% English selling on quality grade stacks up against the grids for English/Continental crosses in your area. Doing some of those things should give you some additional useful ideas and guidance. Good luck, Arnold Ziffle [/QUOTE]
