[QUOTE="fnfarms1, post: 1831529, member: 24416"] 100% agree. I’m using black sim angus bulls and will continue in these red angus. See how I like them, however long term I plan to try a red angus bull and a Hereford. The red angus for replacements. The Hereford for those baldies ppl pay top end for. I use 2 bulls anyway. Thank you. I haven’t gotten into the AI and embryo side of things. Seems like a lot of expense and very time consuming from guys I see doing it, but that’s not to knock your reasoning of building a solid herd and quickly. i do agree with telling them apart. It’s much easier to notice one missing faster if you haven’t seen them. Then go figure out why, calving, down etc. my point is calf uniformity to help in better sales. But make no mistake, my uniformity has come along ways over the years. When I started they sold in groups of 2-3 together and singles. This year it was one group of 4 heifers, group of 5 steers, and group of 11 steers. I kept heifers and butcher steers also. But to have 11 that matched was good for how I started. [/QUOTE]
