[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10801"] Hey! Good point! I grew up on a black angus and hereford operation in North Central Texas. Got my feet wet there. Dad went for quality animals, a good servicable bull, and he won some ribbons on them. Also, made a little money on that part of his business activities and we occasionally ate one. Years later, I decided to get back into cattle and didn't want all the hassles of competing with the feed yards, slaughter houses, commercial operations, etc. Decided to do specialty cattle, registered Texas Longhorns. Been back in this phase about 2 years. SLOWLY increasing herd...have 2 bulls with different lineages, frozen semen from top quality bulls, about 6 real good brood cows, and heifers, plus several calves on the ground and several more expected this year. By the end of the year we'll probably have around 25 or so real good animals. Using one of our yearling bulls for leasing out for out-crossing to commercial breeder's 1st calf heifers. We're chasing confirmation and body and horn length plus variety of color patterns. Bottom-line: We are breeders and are not chasing $$ at the sale barn or other commercial type ventures. Our foundation stock will probably breed and calve into their late teens and very early 20's. Excess stock that doesn't fit our program will be sold at the most profitable outlet.
