[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1075662, member: 21194"] I have mostly Brangus cows with Brangus and Hereford bulls. I generally wean almost all of the heifers and take the steers straight to the auction. Both the solid black and black mottle-face (or black white-face or black blaze-face) calves do well at the auction. I generally keep the Brangus heifers for myself, and sell the cross-bred heifers to individuals for a good bit more than they would have brought at the auction after weaning them and getting them all their shots. I really like the Brangus Hereford cross because there is a good market for the steers and heifers. And I know that some people think that the only good Hereford is a horned Hereford, and there was a time I would have agreed with them, but there are some real good polled bulls out there now. Find one of those and horns won't be an issue. [/QUOTE]
