I think Shorthorn x Herford and Red Angus Herford would make cool baldies.

The herefrod angus mama cow has been the go to cross for years. Nothing beats them in my opinion.  LF

Hands  down  angus  hereford  cross

 

[HAB]

Galloway (non belted) crossed with any of the 4 above.  Makes them all more hardy and efficient.  IMO 

 

[Okie Boy]

Got a sweet red angus-hereford heifer I am looking foreward to working with.

Angus X Shorthorn and I dont care which Angus color you use.

 

[AAOK]

Durham X Mancelle

Durham X Mancelle ////Amen-crossed with Shorthorn-Angus-Shorthorn Red Angus-Shorthorn Hereford-And anything else O0

 

[r.n.reed]

I firmed my commitment to the Shorthorn breed after seeing a herd of Short x Herf and a herd of Red Poll x Black Angus x Shorthorn.

 

[HerefordGuy]

Durham X Mancelle

Sorry Mancelle is not British.

 

[Davis Shorthorns]

Shorthorn x Black Angus.  It gives you the heterosis from the cross and you dont lose carcass like with some other crosses.

Shorty Hereford I have seen some awesome cows from this cross Lucky Springs Farms http://luckyspringsfarms.com/html/cherri_cows.html has a few good examples!

A guy near me has South Devon x Angus which are a good cross. His South Devon's are fairly moderate and using South Devon is a bit like using Euro with out the Euro. The cross also marbles really well with out the external fat.

Maybe, if you live where it never rains, and a 450-lb calf is accepatble. Also, you are adding eye cancer, balloon teats, and, uterine prolapses, to a set of good Angus cows.

You are also adding calm quiet cattle that can get by on less feed and still raise a calf and breed back.  Yea they have some issues with prolapses, and bad teats but there is a balance to it all.  In the  quest for performance angus have sacrificed fertility.  Balance for the individual operation is where it is at.  When you feed hay 6 months a year the ability to do with less is of more value than when you are in the corn belt.  Besides at 6500+ feet the ability to PAP becomes an issue with many angus.
