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

thommoos: have you seen this source? Seems like an outright clearing house of BM genetics... http://www.goodecattle.com/beefmastersemen.htm

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?

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...

Don't think the part about higher BW applies, or is entirely correct. A pure brahman bull on english cows will drive up BW, but there are plenty of BR influenced breeds that have low BW. Also, a BR or BR influenced cow will typically have less calving problems. Lower sale prices = meat...

BLP, hope you listen to the sincere constructive criticism and not make this your herd sire (or anyone elses). If you've committed then it doesnt mean you can't butcher him or take him to the sale barn. Where are you located? Perhaps we can point you in the right direction to some real good...

Gary- why aren't you going to register them? seems that you could get a bit more for them later if you had to sell em, even as 5 yo cows. Also, gives you the option of selling their calves registered. whats your (and anybody else) thoughts on this?

how do you get daily alerts?

another beefmaster breeder told me that there was some kind of either: 1) time/age limit for registration, or 2) the price went up after a certain age... can't remember which case it was, he just said "if you're gonna do it, do it sooner than later"

I picked 6 as well. better depth & rump and whole animal only going to get better.

stick with your original plan to sell off #1. next time hand pick them if you can! shoot, maybe they coulda all been like that red if you'd been more of a PITA. sorting worth the time & trouble IMO. rest look ok though.

this is probably the outfit... http://jorgensenfarms.com/

I'll start raisin up her replacement for ya!

FL needs to start shipping to Texas, our prices here are good bit below yours on a lot of different type cattle.

@ DB: yep, baldie bull is pretty darn bad. when I told him I wanted the couple of heifers out of his other bull he said he thought the ones out of baldie were better (he doesn't understand how bad a couple of his bulls are). yes sir, let me know whats available, thanks! @ BB: 6 month old...

Thank you for the input! Well, if I had to pick between angus and beefmaster breed cows in general, I'd pick BM b/c they're better suited to my climate and offer more mating flexibility. So, I could use these heifers as a starting point and breed to better BM bulls with the essential traits...

that ad has been on there forever. heres another one for ya: http://gainesville.craigslist.org/grd/3778486635.html

At a crossroads... do I sell my 6 good black angus heifers out of a really great bull (along with my crossbreds) in order to buy 11-12 reg beefmaster heifers, most of which are out of bulls that I don't prefer, but are a breed more suitable for the south? BM heifers look fine, I just can't get...
