You would think with all the by-products that cattle produce they would be bring more than $1.00/lb

I'm definitely for a more moderate sized cow. Anything over 1400 lbs is a little high for me. I'd go broke trying to feed 2000 lb cows.

All we had to do was blow the horn on the truck and they'd come get it.

Interesting. If we aren't getting adequately compensated for additional quality, what is the incentive for doing the extras that impact the end product other than weight? Should breeders focus solely on pounds and disregard carcass traits?

Not to hijack this thread and I know the cow is half the equation, but what other Angus sires besides Lead On sires beautiful replacement heifers.

Where can I find this (castration time & IMF)article?

We don't have that kind of weather where I'm from. I'm always amazed to see cows hold condition like that in an environment like yours with little input.

He did his job and gave you a nice set of calves.

I haven't had any experience with them, but I know Cow Creek Ranch has been marketing them for some time. I have talked with the people there, they are really nice. Give em a call. http://www.cowcreekbulls.com/Ultrablack.html

This is what I would do if I were in your shoes. I would sell the current bull. If he has an attitude problem he should have been gone yesterday. I would also buy more Angus/Brangus type cows and I would definitely go with a Hereford bull. You will get some nice baldies with that combination.

Is it worth it to spend the extra money to sync and breed than it is to heat detect naturally and then breed?

With TIME being one of the biggest obstacles, how do big time Seedstock operations AI so many cows in a short period of time?

I haven't seen that before, but I do miss the days of shopping at the commissary. You can get twice as much food on base as you can on the outside.

Red Angus x Hereford

Very nice mnmtranching. What is their breeding? How many cows did you have them with? How long is your breeding season?
