[QUOTE="Andyva, post: 1120278, member: 1022"] Well, I'm kind of looking at going in the Shorthorn direction. Never liked the idea of buying heifers or cows, always just brought in a bull. Closed herd kind of thing. Mostly been going Angus/Hereford back and forth for years, with a continental breed thrown in here and there. Never gave purebreds a second thought. Shorthorns have what you might call an open registry, so I could breed up to pure on some if I'm able. I'm not looking to set any trends or anything, but it would be kind of nice to take some of the genetics of these old cows that have been on the place for three generations and attach them to something with a pedigree. They had Shorthorn in them way back, and I think that is what they have been lacking, and that's why I chose that direction. That and I cant jump up in pickup truck beds like I used to, so I'm not as interested in some of the other stuff now. Just something to mess with, if they do good for me, somebody local might want a bull or two. But, it's not going to happen overnight. [/QUOTE]
