[QUOTE="robert, post: 889452, member: 9171"] the question "are you improving your herd?" has to be a resounding 'yes!', as far as the photos tell the story every calf appears to be an improvement in phenotype from their dams, so the bull seems to be more than doing his job, maybe the best policy is to stick with the old bull over the cows then look at potential AI sires to mate to his daughters (thinking that with this small herd another bull is an excessive investment at this time). If you are looking for good cow making bulls there are not too many in studs in my opinion (as far as the Black Angus bulls go anyway) but making the assumption that you would go for Angus or red angus from a calving ease perspective then I would consider the Boaz bull that regular poster here Julian (dwight elmore) has would be well worth looking at. If you are looking to go back with Hereford then the genex bulls Victor 719T or Legend 242 would be worth considering. [/QUOTE]
