Nice looking baldies. I like using a Hereford bull on Angus cows better than using an Angus bull on Hereford cows. Either result will get you that highly desirable F1 baldy. Heifer calves kept from this cross make dandy cows. Then a person can use a third terminal "continental" cross type of bull on those baldy cows to get an optimum three-way cross that maximizes all possible heterosis and hybrid vigor. Don't keep any heifer calves out of that cross though, for they will not be very efficient cows.
As far as staying with a British breed cross, I prefer to use Angus bulls on baldy cows rather than Hereford bulls on the bald cows. In using Angus, most of the calves will turn out black or black baldy, with an occasional red or red baldy. If you use a Hereford bull on the F1 baldy cows, about a fourth of the calves will come out looking like a Hereford, even though they are a quarter Angus.
You have very nice Hereford and baldy cattle, Doug. If all the Herefords of the past were as nice as yours of the present, more of us would have stayed with Herefords. :wink:
