[QUOTE="Earl Thigpen, post: 512410, member: 3999"] Good luck with your bull calf. I don't mean to be discouraging but I know the Orange Grove, Alice, Mathas, Aqua Dulce area and have a hard time picturing where the good grass might be. Lots of Mesquite, prickly pear and rattle snakes though and miles and miles of open range farm land. I like the idea of raising your own herd bull - kinda like buying a bull on installment as mentioned above. Again, I don't mean to say anything discouraging but you will still need to find out if he will "work" and that will take several months before he is able to demonstrate his prowness around the girls. What I'm saying is he may shoot blanks or may not like girls which wouldn't be the case if you were buying a mature bull with proven results. But what's done is done. You could try the AI route to get the genetics you want. Nice folks around O.G. Spent many nights burning up 624 getting from Calallen to OG to see a couple of very special young ladies. Wish you the best and keep us posted with his progress. [/QUOTE]
