[QUOTE="True Grit Farms, post: 1500915, member: 24694"] Ive used Hereford bulls over Angus and Simmental cows for commercial replacements. I haven't seen any pinkeye problems in my baldie cattle, that's a non issue so far. The problems I had with using Hereford bulls was the lack of growth in heifers and steers and calving problems. But selling good red baldie bred heifers for $200 to $500 less than my black balide heifers at specialty commercial sales hurts the most. Hereford cattle do well living off the land and scrounging for a living. There's no question Hereford cross cattle do better than Angus and Simmental cross cattle under our management style. [/QUOTE]
