    Commercial cow herds should be crossbred. There is a significant performance advantage with the F1 hybrid over any straight-bred cattle (like those Red Baldies [Hereford/Red Angus] in the background).

    We are raising calves in Germany and have a cross of milk cow mother black white holstein and a farther that is a Blue Belgian. The meat is very delicious.

    Ive produced them all. I liked the cross . Herefords bigger, gentler, easier to keep but more health issues. Angus top dollar, better carcass, fence breachers. No horns, and moody.

    I've been experimenting with crossing a Hereford bull with Gelbvieh/Balancer/Red Angus cows. I must say my weaning and yearling weights have increased considerably.

    Or cross them and get a black baldy. Even better, take a Brangus, cross it wirh Hereford, and get a bigger and more disease resistant baldy.

      There is a very well known ranch west of San Antonio Tx, that cross Hereford with Santa Gretudis. Then they breed that offspring to a Wagyu bull. They have a sale once a year and people are buying them up.

    The opposite is true about calving the Angus always have smaller caves.and are better mothers.who is coming up with this information.the not anyone that has raised both of these breeds to compare them accurately.

    Hereford cows are more prone to problems with their udders, such as oversized teats and cracked teats. They also have a tendency towards cancer eye and vaginal prolapses. They are still a good breed.

    I don't like straight Hereford at all. I got tired of treating practically every one of them for pink eye, and some losing their vision permanently. That just never happen to the Angus, Black Ballie, Charford, and Red Ballie crosses I ran. Some of the straight Herefords were too 'crazy' to catch and treat, so they would go blind in both eyes from it.

      Hereford's tend to get pink eye as calves when the grass is high and it cuts their lenses and then the flies and bacteria gets in there ,, now with Angus seems to have a stronger area around the eyes being black seems to make it a little tougher

      CharolaisXHereford is a good cross! The Charolais bulls we use are good marblers and they pass it on to the calves. The calves are good eating!

    I find hereford's is a better quality meat , The only reason farmers raised angers is because they grow out an average of 400 pounds more than a hereford on the same amount of feed ,,,
    AND AS WE ALL KNOW IT'S ALL ABOUT THE WEIGHT

      Affects how early they breed most likely. I had Charolais Hereford cross crossed back to a registered Angus. The heifer would not breed until their third year. Limosuine breed about the same as the Charolais being quite similiar to one another and from the same general area.
