[QUOTE="greenwillowherefords, post: 83808, member: 587"] The classic and most popular cross is the Hereford/Angus, the black-baldie. For instance, at the OBI bull test, the top two gaining bulls were an Angus and a Hereford, if I recall correctly. If I don't, Frankie will be all over it. The top Hereford gained 5.99 pounds per day, and the top Angus gained well over 6 pounds per day. There were, however, significantly more Angus on test than Herefords. Herefords will compete well in feed efficiency, but I challenge anything besides the Longhorn to come close to them at maintaining in range conditions. They are the king of forage conversion. To give you an example of what the modern Hereford is capable of doing, I recently purchased a bull who weaned at 113% ratio among contemporaries that averaged 711 pounds 205 day weights without creep.
