[QUOTE="Angus Rocks, post: 1515844, member: 26438"] [quote/] In my situation I did regulate where I get bulls. I try to raise my own Angus Bulls to breed heifers too, and switching to Herefords. It is good advice to switch breeders or lines of cattle, but most folks are using the same lines. The few outfits that I know of that aren't using the modern bloodlines seem to not have the performance of the others and dispositions are still an issue. I was paying 3000 to over 4000 for bulls which would be consistent for real good bulls of any breed but with the hope of using them more than one season. Understand I am not saying this is only an Angus problem but that's the breed of bull we have used the most lately. In comparison we had several Charolais Bulls in the past and did not have any feet or leg issues with them or disposition. I'm confident that there are good Angus available just gun shy of investing in another one.[/quote] Ten 4 I understand my herd is far from perfect. The last Angus bull I got his sire is from New Zealand the breeder went there and got hooked up with a guy there and is using it because he basically wanted an outcross to everything that was here in the United States.
