[QUOTE="hillbillycwo, post: 777308, member: 13747"] Was thinking that the GV bull would be a win win for me. The added milk and capacity that they bring to the heifers would make some nice crossed replacements and of course the calf WW/YW gains would give great flexability to the steers going to the market or to the steers I am considering feeding out to sell as quarters and sides. When I have compared the GV to the Angus I am just much more impressed by the growth rates and appearance of the GV sired calves. They don't appear as boring to look at as the Angus calves and we have always used the LBW Angus bulls (probably still will on heifers). Would the Balancer heifers be as acceptible for replacements as the GV? The replacements I have picked out now from the Angus/Char crossed heifers are full of capacity(compared to the others in my herd). I will breed them at 16 months and am leaning towards a LBW Angus bull for the first breeding but then again the BW/CE numbers for the GV bulls are very low in risk and I could go straight to one of those. THoughts? [/QUOTE]
