Actually, I like the way your Welsh Blacks look. Can't fit them into my program right now but maybe in a few years. Do the calves have that much hair or does crossing them get rid of alot of it. Seems buyers out here will dock you for any little thing. My past experience with the Galloways has shown me that.

Very nice set of bulls Randy. My picks are Lots 7, 8, 16 & 31. But, still loaded with more bull power then I need and the Herefords seem to be making a slow and steady comeback in our area, so maybe another year. :P

SASH - About the hair thing. I own Galloway and Welsh Blacks because I', darn well jealous. Lost most of mine in my 30's

As far as the cattle - Both breeds have been promoted for their hardiness and do-ability for years. Seems we have attracted folks with minimal input on their minds. Thus when time come to sell calves some look a little rough. Feed these cattle as well as the continental folks do and you will find the hair a benefit rather than a detraction in the sale ring.

Sell them when they look good. was a motto I lived by up until our marketing plan kicked in. Still works for the purebred stock, mind you.

I would lastly say that crossbreeding does take some hair off, especially with continental breeds like Limousin, Gelbvieh, Tarentais, Charlais, etc.
