[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1389460, member: 20599"] Thanks everyone. Re the bull advice, we likely could have found someone to lend us one in the middle of the winter, but we are trying to get them bred for spring deliveries (ideally, April 1-May 30 or so); we are trying to move our calving up but it's proving near-impossible on TAI. Farmerjan, we are breeding them AI to supposedly-high-conception Angus. The weird thing is that each of the last few seasons we've had 2 (or so; of our 10-12 mamas) that don't breed well on AI. But they are different ones each year! Boogie, we don't try to compete with Walmart--don't know how anybody could. We sell grassfed Angus, mostly to local health care workers who want lean beef raised naturally. We compromise--They pay more than they would at Wallyworld and we charge less than what it takes to raise them. Keeps us out of the bars I guess, but this year we gotta figure out a way to break even anyway! [/QUOTE]
