He brought one over to shear out for sure one blue roan and SNP to sire and dam as registered Angus. This kid 50K everything at birth and has a very small herd. But he tells some pretty windy stories as well at times. He was very high on that bull when he bought the semen. He was pretty sad...

I enjoyed reading all the posts of this topic I started. Everyone gave me much better outlook to my question. I attended a dispersal sale yesterday with 100 cow calf pairs that averaged over 7,800 all cattle sold. Real money. I saw a lot of small breeders buying from a breeder that had only...
