[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 142571, member: 2653"] Trin, I think that a hereford or angus would do fine. Don't worry about the udders, herefords milk good. BUT, when you pick a bull out if your concerned about milk, check his milk EPD if available. If you want more growth, pick a bull that has those traits. With all the info readily available to us now (EPD's etc.) you can probably find a bull of just about any breed to fulfill your needs. I wouldn't choose Charolais if you were gonna keep heifers for your herd. Just my opinion. But those would be some mighty big animals! By definition, there is no such thing as a black hereford. A hereford angus cross will give you a black cow with hereford white markings. That is usually called a black baldy. [/QUOTE]
