Nice bull LJB! I really like that one.
Mine are Black Angus. You know what they say...........once you go black, you never go back.
Only applies to cattle
I let a Hereford in on my brangus cows... Calves are mostly black. Black baldy calves bring decent money down here. Surprisingly, white Brahman calves bring the most $$ through the ring here. The more floppy they are and humpy they are the more money they bring.
Not gonna raise 'em though. I doubt my pens are good enough...
Barry, I grew up with Polled Hereford cattle, as that's what we raised. For whatever the reason, you just don't see them around here much anymore, at least not in a commercial herd. The black baldy calves here do sell good, and you see quite a few of them. My bull is a registered Angus, the cows are all black, but most of them have some other breeds in their bloodline.
My next bull will most likely be something other than Black Angus. I'd just like to try something different. If I were starting over, I'd take a long look at those Red Angus that LJB showed us. But, they are a breed that doesn't seem to be very popular around here either.
