[QUOTE="brandonm_13, post: 620860, member: 7875"] I think either of those choices is good. the Red Angus will give you some of the lowest birthweights if you choose the right bull. Plus black is dominant, so breeding him to your black heifers will probably give you about 75% black, which brings more in my area than red. Herefords are also a good choice. You can get some good hybrid vigor from the black cows, and they will produce a baldy(mostly black but some red). Herefords still do well as a cross with all other breeds to create baldies. The worst is breeding back to a hereford. There is no hybrid vigor(both the same breed), and in my area you get docked for having straightbred herefords. [/QUOTE]
