[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 136594, member: 2095"] SO if I understood that right you have Red and Black Baldies??? There are a lot of ways you can go right now depending on what you think your herd needs and where you are marketing the calves. If you want to keep it a simple two way cross you can come back with the Hereford and follow that with the Angus in 3 to 5 years. If you want to try to maximize growth and heterosis you might want to try a Charolais. If you would rather avoid adding yellows and greys (I am not a big color guy) a Black Gelbvieh would be good. Some people would come with Brangus right now to produce "Super Baldies". The big thing you need is a plan. Target your breeding decisions towards what you want to accomplish with your cattle. Are you trying to maximize pounds at the local sale barn? Or is your focus on producing more females? Or are you trying to market your calves into a program like CAB or CHB? Come up with a plan for your herd and breeding questions are easier to answer. Also cattle breeds are linebred creations of human cattle breeders(hopefully) to improve the cattle available to the breeders at the time and maximize the expression of the good genes and are NOT "races" which are created by either God or by natural selection.
