Hi All,
was looking for some advice on buying cows for improving/upgrading my beef herd. I have a small mixed group of angus/charolais and other mixed beef breeds. We run black angus bulls and I would like to add some good hereford cows to the group as I like their temperament, looks and the bwf cross. I have been looking to buy some purebred hereford cows but I really don't want to have registered stock. I have not had any luck in the northern Minnesota area where we ranch and I have even advertised in our tri-state ag publications that I am looking to purchase hereford bred cows or cow/calf pairs. NO response. I have checked out a couple of sales barns but the cows that went through there were definitely culls and I'm not looking to add problems or trash to our herd. Any suggestions? I'm only looking to purchase 4-6 good cows, and would prefer not to buy first calf heifers. Thanks in advance, Vickie :tiphat:
