Nice bulls.
But I'm pretty sure I would not want them bred to our heifers,
and especially mixed breed ones. FWIW
Why don't you go straight black Angus on those heifers,
Haymaker? I think you'd like them better in the end.
Those are some terrific looking bulls.

Angus bulls would work........if I can find some priced right with some size,the ole geezer I usually buy bulls from is proud of his angus this year and I think they are thin boned and small framed,remember I dont finish cattle nor private treaty,except for a couple neighbors that are order buyers, and the sale barn,all want em to pound out,moderate framed cattle that are heavy boned/muscled with strong legs that can trail cows in rough country...........good luck

Haymaker,
You call this other ole fella a geizer how much older is he than you? Good looking bulls but I would really make sure they are easy calvers before you breed hiefers with them. But things are different in TX than they are up here where cows are usually in corrals and not out getting lots of exercise.
