[QUOTE="bcarty, post: 1130015, member: 17617"] Ok I live in the Ozarks of Missouri and the cows are eating a lot of wild grass and fescue. I am going to stay straight black and I should have said this before but I want to stay within the angus breed. I have enough crossbred genetics in my cows at this point and don't want to get too far from the angus breed for my cowherd genetics. To address the use of a terminal bull on my cows, someone already pointed out the fact that it wont put meat on my cowherd. Ill add to that statement that the point of a terminal bull is to sell all offspring and even if I were to change that and keep some of the heifers out of a terminal bull I would be taking a huge step backwards in terms of creating better momma cows. That would be almost the same as single trait selection and we all know that doesn't work for very long. Let me make myself a little clearer. I am looking for recommendations on angus sires that are going to allow me to maintain good mothering ability, black color, reduce frame score slightly, maintain WW above +40 and YW above +80 and add tons of flesh to my replacement heifers. A couple names I am tossing around: Connealy Dublin WRA Vindicator (Milk # is too high) OCC Emblazon (really Expensive) OCC Great Plains [/QUOTE]
