Both will work just fine. Neither cross will have the desired heterosis like Hereford on Angus or Hereford on Charolais will.

What bull can you breed safely to your holstein mix heifers?
The thing I'd like to know is what the "mix" part is in the "Holstein mix" equation. Is it Jersey, Guernsey, Hereford, Milking Shorthorn, Brown Swiss, Angus, Shorthorn, etc? And what type of bull are you looking for, a beef bull or dairy? That's the most important part you need to analyze before you make your bull purchasing decisions. For any heifers, you will need to look for a calving-ease bull. For most starting heifers, Jersey or Angus is probably the best for starters.
What is the average gestation time for a Hereford cross cow and a registered Angus bull?
The inclusion of the Angus bull is irrelevant to this question since the bull has no control nor part in the length of a cow's gestation period. Expect a Hereford-cross cow to have an average gestation period of around 285 days long, plus or minus a few days.
What is the average weight for a Hereford bull?
Most Hereford bulls weigh around 2600 lb.
Is a Bradford bull a cross breed or a Bos Tarus?
The Braford breed is a result of crossbreeding Brahman with Hereford. The breed has been created in such a way that resulting offspring of this F1 cross no longer have hybrid vigour (or less so than the initial Brahman-Hereford cross), and thus create cattle that can be registered as purebred Braford cattle.
Would a shorthorn bull on beefmaster cows be a good cross?
Yes. Though you won't get the heterosis like if you crossed those Beefmasters over Limousin or Charolais, you're still going to end up getting good calves, provided you make the right choice with your bull.
What can cows be cross bred too?
That all depends on what breed they are and where you are located, as well as what kind of calves your local markets are demanding. If they are Angus cows they can be cross bred to a Brahman, Hereford or Shorthorn bull. If they are Charolais cows, they can be bred to a Red Angus, Angus, Hereford, Simmental, Shorthorn, Limousin, Brahman or Santa Gertrudis bull.
Will hereford cow calve a limousin calf?
No. A Hereford cow will only give birth to a Hereford-Limousin cross calf if bred to a Limousin bull. Only a Limousin cow can give birth to a Limousin calf--IF she's bred to a Limousin bull. Just like a Hereford cow can only give birth to a Hereford calf if bred to a Hereford bull. Otherwise, she too (referring to the Limousin cow) can give birth to Hereford-Limousin-cross calf if bred to a Hereford bull.
Which 2 breeds to cross to find hereford?
Hereford is a pure breed, and the origin of the colour pattern of the Hereford breed is pretty much unknown. So you can't find two breeds to cross to find Hereford, unless you can find a Hereford cow and a Hereford bull and "find" a Hereford calf!
Simmental bull crossed with hereford bull is what?
Nothing, it is impossible to breed two bulls together. However, when either of these is a female the offspring would just be called a cross bred animal. A similar circumstance is when you cross a Hereford with a Charolais.
What would be the color and name of a calf from a Brangus bull and a Hereford cow?
The cross's name would be considered an F1 Brangus-Hereford cross. The colour would be black with a white face.

What breed of bull would be good to cross with corriente heifers?
Angus, Red Angus, Texas Longhorn, Hereford, Shorthorn, Red Poll, Devon, Galloway, or any other British breed that will put more muscle and growth in the calves but keep them small for the heifers to calve out.
What would be the result of a cross between a red male and a white female?
I assume you are referring to the Shorthorn breed. A red Shorthorn bull bred to a white Shorthorn cow will produce a roan calf. The chance of this happening is 100% in this breed.
What is the average gestation time for a Hereford cross cow and a registered Angus bull?

How are cattle breeds mixed?
A cattleman, for example, might breed a Hereford bull with an Angus cow and then cross the resulting crossbred female with an exotic breed.
What bull can you use to your black brangus to get a black baldy?
You can use a Simmental (white-faced one) or a Hereford. Hereford over Brangus would probably give you the best in terms of heterosis.
