[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1501046, member: 1715"] Baldy bred heifers sell for $100 to $150 more than straight angus here. A good Hereford bull will put about 20# on steer calves vs. straight angus. It also seems to me that the baldy calves have a little more vigor at birth. You can put pounds on F1 terminal steers using a number of breeds, but if you are a commercial operation that retains heifers, you can not afford to not use Hereford. [/QUOTE]
