if I was going with pure bred I'd go Angus.for a all round everyday cow that will make money with little trouble,a black white face would be hard to beat in the long haul.market is always there,good mothers generally,generally gentler than a purebred Angus for some reason.though Ive seen some mean ones,to me I think the Angus is generally prone to be more high strung than Hereford.they also tend to be,in my opinion,generally healthier than the purebreds of either parent stock,since they inherit a lot of both strains good points.there's other breeds that will make you money sometimes but a b/wf is a pretty steady performer in most markets.in my opinion ,and only my opinion,,i think purebreds of any breed tend to develop sicknesses that can run through a whole herd,quicker than a crossbreed.I've never have seen any data on this but it seems like it in my experience.Ive had 20-30 herefords go down sick in two or three days while the cross breeds running with them never even got a runny nose.don't know why but Ive had it happen more than once.hope this helps.
