[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1551325, member: 37967"] We are at 60 right now, all registered, we will top out at about 100-125 cows/heifers. The goal is to AI the entire group each season and to produce 100 registered Angus AI calves per year. We use multiple AI sires right now, mainly SAV, Baldridge, and Connealy. There are other sires we have in the tank from VAR to Bubs, and such, we use them from time to time. Our cow families are Queen Mother, Miss Burgess, Eurotia, Evergreen, Blueblood Lady, Elba, Joy Erica, Edella, and Pride. We have developed a lot of our females ourselves over the years but have also purchased from the Cannon family, Charles and Jere Cannon, who own Stone Gate farm. They have been around since 1952 and have an excellent maternal program, i.e. 9 current Pathfinders in their 400 registered Angus cows (SAV has 20 I think) Charles Cannon, in my opinion is one of the best cattlemen in the Angus business, and a consummate gentleman to work with. Stone Gate is a big reason why we have some outstanding momma cows in our herd. We have worked with them since the 70’s. Right now given the very high quality of sexed semen from ST Genetics we are tossing around the idea of breeding our entire group of females to SAV Raindance sexed semen and taking the females to 100+ by the fall of 2020. Raindance has produced some excellent females for us so far and I think that another 50-60 new heifers next year would be a welcome addition to our herd. [/QUOTE]
