[QUOTE="deenranch, post: 384133, member: 6465"] I have been in the cattle business all my life. The best piece of advice I can give is to look for the faults in your cattle. Don't look at how good you think they are. Look at the bad points and see where you need to go from there. As for finding a bull. Use one that has lots of muscle and look at his EPD's. Use a bull with a low bw and a high ww. Look at the milk epd. The milk directly transfers into pounds of muscle. If a cow don't milk, then the calf won't grow. As far as breed to go back with. Stay with the smokies. The feedlots are really pushing smokies right now. The Char X will grow faster in the feedlot than anything. It's a fact. Ask anyone who actually knows what they are talking about. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
