[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1662788, member: 40587"] Yep. Same around here ( Ga). When the Charolais and Simmental first showed up around here, everyone had Angus, Hereford and black baldy cows, that did good to reach 1000lbs. People went nuts buying Charloais and Simmental bulls, and a lot of folks became experts at pulling calves! Now, about 1975, my brother got a Hereford- Charolais show heifer ( looked like a yellow and white Hereford) and his best friend got a Char- Simmental show heifer, that looked like a yellow and white Simmental. My grand daddy bough them both at the end of the fair season, and turned them out with his other cows and Angus bulls. Both raised very good calves ( this was before CAB) for many years, and I don't recall any of them having any calving problems. I never fooled with either kind of bull until this century (That sounds old, huh?) when I started getting those Chianina x Brahma cows. I bred them to polled Charolais bulls, and no problems at all. The bulls I used were slicker-haired and a LOT smaller-headed than those first ones in the 70's though. [/QUOTE]
