[QUOTE="Santas and Duhram Reds, post: 536100, member: 6712"] anything black will bring more per lb but will not necessarilly bring more money. American breeds, imo, will produce your best replacement heifers. A cow that is half American breed and then crossed with another breed will sell calves that hardly take a hit at all and will make up for it in the size and weight of the calf you raise. We did it just this last week with some of our cull fall Santas and Santa cross calves we sold at the local sale barn. The check was actually reaffirming. We had 2 black angus calves (neighbor bull) that brought 12 cents per pound more but weighed 150 lbs less than our average of the other calves. [/QUOTE]
