[QUOTE="IluvABbeef, post: 583909, member: 3739"] Just noticed something, after this was posted. You won't get much hybrid vigour with the two breeds of Angus/Red Angus bulls thrown in, you'll have to go with an entirely different breed for a three-breed rotation, for instance Gelbvieh instead of Red Angus, or even consider throwing in Simmental, or Maine Anjou, or even possibly Shorthorn. These breeds will definately maximize your hybrid vigour in your calf crop. If you're a commercial producer, uniformity shouldn't be much of a concern. And, [b]depending on your "foundation" females[/b] I would think that in the end you will have a bit of a mottley herd, though a good producing herd, both on the reproduction end and the carcass end.
