[QUOTE="Rydero, post: 1662695, member: 38101"] Why don't you like to crossbreed? Hybrid vigor is a powerful thing, not sure why you wouldn't want to use that. I'm sure you have your reasons. I tried one time breeding my whites black at the same time as I bred my blacks Charolais thinking I'd get the same calves but I was mistaken. Breeding the Charolais cows black made different color - more grey than silver, smaller framed, just all around disappointing ugly calves. So...I'd suggest something red. Red angus, Red Sim, Limo, or maybe Maine Anjou? If you're going to keep replacements maybe something to add milk to the Charolais. The Angus might be a waste on the Char cows - not sure which continental breed is furthest from Charolais but I'd use that if I wanted to add more hybrid vigour. [/QUOTE]
