[QUOTE="Logan52, post: 1830992, member: 32879"] I bought my first cows in 1972, 18 registered Angus from a neighbor who was selling out to start a dairy. 17 of them weighed around 725 lbs to 800 lbs. each and stood not much higher than my belt. The 18th was much taller and around 1200 lbs. She had been purchased by the previous owner, representative of the new trend of more frame and weight in Angus. She was a great cow, weaned heavy calves and I kept her for many years. I learned a couple of years later it was not good to cross them to one of the new Charolais bulls just then becoming popular, at least not a big headed bull from the stockyards. [/QUOTE]
