[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1831184, member: 40587"] Go ahead now and buy ever how many red angus cows you can for the $14k. Then, whenever you sell calves, or cull cows or those 6 heifers, etc, buy more red angus with the money til you get how ever many you want. Lots of red Angus here in the southeast for sale. And, you can go all red Angus cows without having to give up money due to non-black calves at sale time. Just breed them with a homozygous for black bull. Black baldies are a very popular cross breed that bring as much per pound as solid blacks do. Some people put Angus bulls on Hereford cows to get them ( cheapest way), and some put Hereford bulls on Angus cows ( more expensive way) to get them. But I have 2 clients that are putting homo-for-black Black Hereford bulls on red Angus cows. The RA cows cost less than Angus cows, and not much more than Herefords. And the BH bulls are cheaper than Angus bulls, not much more than a red Hereford bull costs. One dude also buys red & white Braford cows as well. The other one has black Angus cows too. You can not tell the calves with red mommas from those with black mommas. The only thing is, if you wanted to keep heifers, the red angus's heifers would be hetero for black, where as the ones from the black angus would be homozygous for black. [/QUOTE]
