[QUOTE="LFF, post: 660225, member: 1147"] This is a loaded guestion. It is going to be different for each producer. Factors such as enviroment , management style, and individual goals are deciding factors. Even if you are happy with the size and preformance of you current cows and they give you a uniform set of calves, it still depends on your goals. For example if you want to sell all your calves at the local market buy a terminal purebred bull that will add lots of groweth and improve consistency. If you want to retain easier doing heifers look at the British breeds. I really can not make a recommendation for you without knowing much more about your operation. I would suggest, if you are retaining heifers, use one breed of bulls on your herd until you have a consistent herd of cows then add a different breed. That will not happen over night and you will need to prepare for the long haul. [/QUOTE]
