[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 13838"] an angus bull will give you no calving problems and a good selling calf. if you intend to sell the calves as feeders i would get a long stretchy angus bull for around 800. i wouldnt go to the expense of buying a high dollar bull for the first round. you could also rent if you could find a good young bull cheap. dont get one over 1100 lbs for the heifers. if you are going to keep the heifer calves the hereford would be good but you will have an occasional big calf, so you might lose a heifer. i would be more concerned with getting a light weight good selling angus calf the first round and then go for a better bull for the second calf. a limousin will give you and excellent cross or a hereford for the second calf and later. I have 14 good black heifers that > I need to find a bull for. I am > new at this and have never bought > a bull. What do I look for? How > old of a bull will do the job?
