[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 369110, member: 4353"] No herd is too poor to be drastically improved by a superior bull. Cull problem cows, as it will come back to bite you through their offspring later, but breed the rest to the best bull you can possibly afford and you'll be pleasantly surprized by the outcome. I have little experience with beefmaster, but agree with others to use a bull that will give you a more uniform calf crop. I'd go with hereford as at least all the calves will have a white face and your calf crop will look as if you at least have a plan. From what I can see of your cows, you can do with a lot more capacity, muscling and heavier bone, without compromising on milk, so make sure to include those traits high on your list. Once you get a herd of hereford or red angus or whichever breed you prefer, looking cattle, you can always go back to beefmaster to get closer to your ideal cow. I just feel you'll sooner reach your goal of more uniformity if not using a composite bull. [/QUOTE]
