Meet the Rancher’s Favorite Crossbreed

In the cattle world, a certain white-faced beauty is stealing the show—and her name is F1 Baldy. If you’ve ever heard a rancher brag about their F1 crosses but weren’t sure what that meant, you’re in the right place. This blog breaks down what makes an F1 Baldy special and why Deep South Ranch proudly breeds them as part of our premium cattle program.

The Genetics Behind the Baldy

An F1 Baldy is the result of breeding a registered Hereford cow with an Angus bull. This cross produces offspring with what’s called “hybrid vigor”—a combination of the best traits from both breeds.

Benefits That Go Beyond Looks

While their distinctive white faces are eye-catching, the real value is in their performance. F1 Baldies tend to be more feed-efficient, fertile, and hardy than purebreds. They also produce calves with excellent carcass quality—something both commercial buyers and small ranchers love.

Why We Breed Them at Deep South Ranch

At our ranch, we focus on producing animals that are not only profitable but manageable. F1 Baldies tend to have calm temperaments, making them ideal for both experienced producers and families raising show calves.

The Smart Choice for Strong Herds

If you’re looking to build a dependable, high-performing herd, F1 Baldies are a powerful option. At Deep South Ranch, we don’t just sell cattle—we raise livestock that lives up to their legacy. Curious about adding F1 genetics to your operation? Let’s talk breeding goals—we’re here to help.
