[QUOTE="toughntender, post: 1104146, member: 21587"] I ended up buying a set of Buelingo Heifers at a feeder sale several years ago. I wasn't planning on doing anything with them other than stocker them and feed them out. I bought them because they were a really nice even set of heifers, and they brought about $20 less/cwt. than the blacks. They did so well as stockers that I ended up sticking an Angus bull in with the group and got them bred. I still have some of them left in the cowherd, so all in all they are pretty good cattle. Pros- Depending on your area can usually be purchased fairly reasonable, because of the belt (best for people who direct market) -Similar body style to Angus -Good converters on pasture Cons- Can get beat up pretty bad at the sale barn with belted calves, if you plan on selling them commercial. -I had a few who were a little loopy, almost to ridge runner status (most were perfectly fine though). All in all if the price was right I wouldn't hesitate to buy another set, but you need to have an outlet for them. [/QUOTE]
