[QUOTE="Idaman, post: 778117, member: 14119"] Seems like the more things change the more they stay the same. This is not a rant on Angus or Angus bulls, just a simple statement based on my life experience..and yes I own an Angus bull. My Grandpa told me 50 yrears ago that if you run Angus bulls with your cows you better have a Hereford bull in there to breed the cows while the Angus bulls were fighting, standing in the pond, or laying in the shade.[/quote] Exactly. We even have a small registered Angus herd as well as the Herefords so I am not knocking either one only trying to survive. When we raise our own bulls it really isn't too important how many cows per bull it takes as we can produce lots. If we run short as has been the case with the Angus lately we simply pick some of our best commercial black cows and AI them to the best bull we can that has the characteristics we want and then raise a lot of bulls. What other herds can I get the top bulls out of every year that I could possibly afford. 15/16th brothers are no problem either. As you can see I am probably the most unpopular bull buyer there is.
