[QUOTE="gcreekrch, post: 1623038, member: 14161"] We don't check until June first so hope we have enough extra now. Pairs are sorted 3 ways. Black cows, reds and crossbreds, and heifer pairs. Blacks get black bulls and a couple Charolais. We have run 3 Hereford bulls in this bunch for several years but the results weren't what we desired. Not enough calves to warrant them and the heifers sorted themselves out too early. There were several individuals that made up the three over the last 10 years too. We will buy the baldies we need since we can't raise them good enough...…… or go to a bit more Gelbvieh blood. Heifer pairs get yearling R or B Angus bulls with moderate birthweights. Reds and crossbreds get Charolais, Red Angus, and any black bulls that are left over. We try to keep the ratio of 6 bulls per 100 cows. [/QUOTE]
