[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1827667, member: 40587"] You won't get tiger stripes breeding anything to a pure bred Brangus. The calves will be black. Your plan on using Angus for ultrablack is a good idea. If you wanted ultra black baldies, then I'd use a homo-for-blac, Black Hereford bull. The resulting baldy heifers, if you wanted to retain them, would then be homo for black, and always give you a black calf. A third option might be using a homo for black Simm bull, or homo for black bwf Simm bull. Honestly, for me, if I had a herd of Brangus cows, Black Simm bull would be my 1st choice, Angus 2nd, and Black Herford 3rd. If you want to[I] buy[/I] some f1 Herf/Brah tiger stripes, that would be your best bet. And the best and most common bull people use on them is black Angus. F1 Herf/brahma heifers will cost you, maybe $2k or more. A red or brindled ( tiger stripe) steer will bring a little more than a dairy cross steer will, if any. If you just have your heart set on raising your own f1 herf/Br, then buy some brahma cows and AI them with [I]sexed[/I] Hereford semen. Someone gave you some bad advise about using an f1 Herf/Brah bull. [I]Never[/I] use[I] any[/I] bull that is half one breed and half another. In an f1 Br/Herf bull, half his semen will be Hereford and half his semen will be Brahma. If you want to go that route, buy a registered (or at least pure bred) Braford bull. 100% of his semen will be Braford semen, and you'd consistently get black baldy eared calves. Since the Brangus is 3/8ths Brahma, and the Braford is 3/8ths Brahma, you wont get any more or any less ear.
