NW Iowa | What are you guys breeding to get good quality Balck Baldy calves. Not looking for breeding genetics, looking for feedlot genetics in these calves.
Some guys say Angus Bull x Hereford Cows, some say Hereford Bull xAngus Cows?? What do you guys think? I'm using Angus Bull X F1 Black Baldy Cows right now experimenting. Some guys are saying to make the "super baldy" cross they use Brangus x Hereford while others say Black Angus/Shorthorn x Hereford.
I'm liking the Angus Bull power on Black Baldy cows, Since I'm already Pure Bred Angus grower I'm gonna keep using my own Angus Bulls. I really don't wanna look at Hereford cows everyday (no offense Jim) & I don't want a red calf every once in awhile. I want super Black Baldy calves everytime for the feedlot.
*With Angus Bull x Black Baldy Cows, can I call the calf a true F1 calf?? alot of grey areas there when discussing with other people.
*Will I be getting the most out of both angus/hereford genetics in my calves using F1 Black Baldy Cows crosses with pure breed Angus Bulls?
Ultimately my question is, will using my Black Baldy Cows x Angus Bulls be the best in every aspect for me?
EDIT> I'm not looking to breed calves to make cows to start, I'm looking to buy these Black Baldy cows by this fall already bred for what I want, to breed to my Angus Bulls next year. If you have something I'd be interested in buying let me know!
