[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1556604, member: 32659"] Branded, I haven’t read everything you have posted but have read enough to have a few questions for you. 1. If you truly believe in the Angus genetics why in the world aren’t you in the yearling business? Those angus sired calves out of top bulls should put on weight like you wouldn’t believe and would definitely get the value added tag. 2. You talked about buying land earlier to spread your operation, but you can’t figure a way to make it pay. At the prices you’ve talked about you can get for Heifers and Bulls I wouldn’t be affraid to go a couple mil in debt on land. I know you say commercial banks won’t lend but Ag Credit Banks will and they are in every state. Don’t use the 20% down excuse, I would like a real answer. 3. Why should I use Angus bulls in my operation? I’ve bought some good ones and still don’t understand the hype. I’ve honestly had my best luck crossing good Hereford bulls with crossbred Angus/Brangus type cows. I’m not knocking anything you say but for the life of me can’t understand how a man can tell a commercial cattleman to use his bulls when he doesn’t run yearlings himself. As they say the proof is in the puddin’. Please convince me, I’ve travled to buy good bulls before. [/QUOTE]
