| When I had cows I always tried to stick with breeding for true f1s. I figured I gave up some cow performance for high performing feeder calves. Now I've exited the cows to focus on other things around the feedyard but my son is back into the cow calf thing a little
Trying out f1 baldies (herf angus) bred to Purebred black star faced Sims.
So far the calves are coming out mostly brockle faced. Not too painted up.
He's hoping to qualify for CAB and CHB. should maximize premiums fingers crossed. So far 80 calves on the ground and last I asked running 80% bwf so most should hit that chb qualifications on most of the cattle
We're new to a 3 way cross so not sure how much consistency we'll have in the calves but we're able to use half brother bulls so hoping that helps
