[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1129219, member: 9096"] What Taurus said, I'd be weary of a char bull while they're young. I don't know the quality of the breeding of these heifers, but if I were to do things over again myself, I'd make sure I have a couple *really good* heifers (or even cows) to start with... If I had these anyhow, I guess I'd keep them and breed them too. We started off with a bunch of bred heifers 22 years ago, and we had a nightmare the first year, I can't remember how big they were, but we bought some calves from the same place and they were in the 350 lb range. Of the 22 head of cattle we bought, we've culled all but 6 (soon to be 4) bloodlines completely. 5 of the bloodlines we have are from the bred heifers we bought, and the remaining one is from one of the calves we bred the following year. Doing it over, I would start with at least some known good stock, and I don't know if what you have qualifies. [/QUOTE]
