[QUOTE="MF135, post: 858487, member: 14057"] Most are making considerably more than that. Too many people try to expense property taxes, way too much fuel, barns, and fences from the calves revenue, not to mention all kinds of capital improvements that just aren't necessary for the cattle operation. If you would incur the expense whether you had cattle or not, there's no way you can expense that cost against the cow. If anything, you should be crediting your revenue for the savings the ag exemptions provided you on property taxes. I'd keep the beefmaster on Angus cows. The f1 replacements will make excellent mothers and the bull calves will grow as good as any. Despite what some have said on here, you will get an extremely uniform calf crop with the beefmaster over straightbred cows. Beefmasters genetics are highly stabalized. Id go as far as to say there is less genetic diversity in the beefmasters than in the Angus or hereford breeds. Angus and hereford vary greatly from one ranch to the next. Most of the beefmasters I've seen are fairly similar with regard to phenotype. This cannot be said of Angus or hereford. There are very few maternal crosses that can compete as cows with an f1 super baldie( brangus x hereford) or the f1 beefmaster x Angus. Go back with a charolais or limi as the terminal cross. Big $.
