[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1782594, member: 40587"] When they first got here, late 60's, the old red & white pure Simmental, we has a LOT of problems with them Charolais, too. Biggest problem back then with both, were the enormous heads on the bulls. All cattle here then were Angus and Hereford, cows that barely made 1000lbs back then. I grew to HATE Charolais and Simms that very first year..so many cows and calves dying in birth. It was ugly. I swore I never, ever wanted so see another of either as long as I lived. People also got the 1st Brahmas around here about that time, and every one noticed how easy these little cows calved when bred to them. Lots of f1 Braford and Brangus around in just a few short years. But with todays simmental, Charolais too, and with the bigger angus, Hereford etc, this is a non-issue now. I always did like Char and Simm cows though. They did fine the other way...Char or Simm cows and Angus or Hereford bulls. And some people started crossing Char and Simm, and these were damned good cows..no calving problems and weaned big calves . I wouldn't turn any down today if there were some for sale. Those yellow and white steers and heifers dominated the fairs around here for years, in the new commercial categories. Most people around here do not keep replacement heife4rs, but of the ons that did, would breed these Char/Simms to the " new-fangled" brahma bulls, and that cross was unbelievable. Looked just like a yellow & white f1Braford. I would not be opposed to having a pasture full of them today, either. If I did, and h kept these heifers for myself, I would breed them red( believe it or not) Angus. Or red Brangus. But to answer [USER=23717]@scvfd_7241[/USER] , no you shouldn't have a bit of trouble breeding your Hereford cows to any of these. [/QUOTE]
