Which two breeds are crossed to produce a black baldie?

The black baldie is a popular crossbreed that results from crossing an Angus and a Hereford. This particular hybrid combines the desirable traits of both parent breeds. Angus cattle are known for their excellent meat quality, marbling, and high production rates, while Hereford cattle are recognized for their hardiness and efficiency in grass-fed systems as well as their good maternal qualities.

Crossing these two breeds results in offspring that typically exhibit a striking black and white coloration due to the traits inherited from the parent breeds. The black baldie is appreciated in the livestock industry for its well-rounded performance in both beef production and maternal abilities.

The other breed combinations listed, such as Hereford crossed with Charolais, Angus crossed with Charolais, or Hereford crossed with Simmental, do not specifically produce a black baldie, as they involve different breeds and do not create the distinctive black and white pattern characteristic of the black baldie.
