[QUOTE="cfpinz, post: 351659, member: 2383"] Unfortunately, yes, I am set on angus. I'm not the biggest angus fan either but that's what makes the most money locally and fits in my plan. For the most part, the heifers will be 50-100% angus that were home-raised, most around 75%. I want a maternal bull, one which the daughters can be kept and bred to either hereford or gelpvieh (after being bred to angus for their first calf). This way I maintain my own supply of high percentage angus replacements for cross-breeding. I won't need the bull til this fall, have one now that serves the purpose but he'll have some daughters thrown in the pot this fall. Since November, I've looked at over 300 angus bulls and only 4 have met my criteria looks/numbers-wise. Of those 4, 3 went out of my price range and I just couldn't get myself excited about the other one enough to lay down the cash. It's nice being able to look without having the pressure of needing a bull "yesterday", one can be a lot more picky that way. Doc - I hope some of your concerns were addressed in that, also. cfpinz [/QUOTE]
