[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1704398, member: 40587"] Yeah, I just had another board member on here.. a well-respected one.. contact me about getting him up a few Corriente cows. Like the first one, he wants all solid colored cows. I think both of these want to use something other than an Angus bull. I mean here, a red or white calf just won't bring as much as a black one. Maybe 20 to 30 cents a pound less. A 500 lb black steer at $1.50 would be $750. A 500 lb red may be 1.30 or a 500 lb Charx may be $1.20....$600. So I guess they are thinking the same principal would apply with using say.. Hereford or Char or red angus bulls. Might as well wean a 500 lb calf at 6 mos for $600 from a $300 cows, as one from a $1k or more cow. Plus the little to no feed and vet in meds costs...no calving problems, etc. I am gonna shut up about them, though, except when a newcomer comes on here and asks advice. I think one reason I keep bringing the Ang x Corr thing up, is to convince myself about this one client. The guy I have been looking up Braford and F1 Br x Herefords for. It has taken so long (I am picky when buying for someone else more so that for myself) , that we have been talking about buying Brahma cows and just raise F1 Brafords. Here lately though, looking at his place , the condition of the pastures, his age and the amount of work he can put into it, I am going to talk to him next week while I am down there, about just buying Corr cows. It will take a lot to fill 450 acres of pasture..no matter which way we went: Braford cows, Brahma cows or Corr cows. Might just end up doing all 3 for now, I dunno. [/QUOTE]
