PM me if interested in discussing. Need care/oversight included.

well circumstance decided for me, lease came to an end. might look for new lease in FL. will go with AI on reg stock this time.

If you were to buy 10 registerable weanling (6 mo old) calves, grow them for one year and sell them at end of that year then would you choose heifer or bull calves? Which do you think would be more profitable? Alternately, I could buy 8-9 heifers and 1-2 bulls and market them as a "starter...

Which ones do you consider to be "legends of the breed"? Also- what do all the codes mean... classified XYZ? the asterisks, etc?

Seeking advice on best beefmaster bulls to use and where straws can be purchased. Thinking of AIing heifers in the future (for main purpose of producing replacement females). Also, personal preference is non-black bulls, polled is a plus. Any tips from the beefmaster breeders?

Looks like hes coming along nicely. Was this the one that came off the son's place? Do you have any more pics of your others?

@ LRTX1: Sounds fair. Questions... Where is the tech coming from? Do you have a lot of cows? Are they usually making 2 trips to get the cows settled (1 for cidrs and one for AIing)? Can you PM me their name/#? Thanks!

Yeah, would like the info... the course I saw was pretty dern pricey, believe it was done through ABS and was offered in Okeechobee. Too bad its not as easy as AIing pigs! gimme a straw and a pouch and I can make a shyt ton of piglets! I'd probably hire the service out though (even if I knew...

probably I'd buy the semen, b/c it would be beefmaster, which is not carried by most of the big companies.

good to spend the quality time w/family now. also, negotiate for medical insurance/benefits??

In the southeast (FL specifically), what do you think the "going rate" is for AI (per cow) when the total # of cows is 7-10 head? ...The whole run (synch, etc)

Gelbvieh, Angus or Balancer

Nice, I like em! cattle look great and great photos!

If you're in South Georgia then you need to call Bill Hatchcock right away and buy one of his young bulls. I've spoken to him multiple times, he has the kind of bull you want for both your registered and commercial herd. There are also pics floating around on here. real nice animals...
