[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 749487, member: 3162"] The only good thing I know about buying pairs is 1) the cow generally stays with the calf and won't bust fence on you and 2) she's fertile. Slick angus generally bring the upper range while the fuzzy ones bring little because of this climate we live in. Personally I wouldn't consider anything that wasn't slick hided and I would only buy those if they were an absolute bargain. The few angus I have calve in the fall and do okay (they're slick). There was one heck of a drought the last couple of years in central Texas. Folks from that area are probably going to be rebuilding. That may affect your prices some. Talked to a guy buying two weeks ago that drove a long way to get to a sale barn up here. I should have hauled a bunch of brangus cows to the sale barn that day :D [/QUOTE]
