[QUOTE="J. T., post: 142585, member: 289"] If you're wanting to keep replacements, I'd go with Hereford if your plan is to bred the replacements to Angus. Or another route would be to introduce some indicus breeding by breeding these Braunvieh to a Brangus, Beefmaster, or Gert bull, then breed those heifers to an Angus. You know what opinions are worth, but I would be leary of continuing to breed continental to continental if I was planning on keeping replacements due to large cow size which equates to a larger feed bill. To answer your question about Hereford longevity, the British breeds have long been known for staying productive for many years. That wouldn't concern me at all. [/QUOTE]
