[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1692487, member: 40587"] The best bull to breed those black baldies to, to get the best replacement heifers....either for you to retain or for you to sell...and to get top dollar for your steers, would be Brangus. If you are fond of red, then get a Braford. Again, excellent replacement heifers for you or to sell , and the black steers out of the cross would bring top dollar. Or, where you are, you could breed to a Brahma bull. Excellent heifers for you to retain or to sell, and an F1 Baldy x Brahma steer wouldn't get beat up too bad at the sale, especially the black ones. The heifers, if you chose to sell some, would bring top dollar as well. Brahma bull x Hereford cow is the best F1 cross that yields the maximum heteratosis, especially with the bull calves. Brahma bull X Angus cow is the F1 Brahma cross that maximizes heteratosis the 2nd best. So, Brahma bull x Black Baldy would work out great. With only 8-10 cows, have you thought about AI? With trying to build your herd with heifers from these 8-10 cows, you could use sexed semen and get all heifers. Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
