[QUOTE="Busterz, post: 552977, member: 7999"] Don't let these guys be too discouraging. If you like Charolais cattle then go for it. They are one of the more popular breeds in the country and many people use the bulls for cross-breeding. Somebody has to produce those pure bred bulls. If no one else in your area has any you may be in a very good position to market charolais bulls. The feed yards around here are full of smokey calves. Also, starting small could be an advantage in your case. It would probably make sense to use AI on such a small number which could allow you to get better quality sires than if you were having to use bulls. Its a cheaper way to get access to better genetics and you can change faster if you need to. Get the best females you can find and/or afford then do your research on bulls you can use for AI. Another idea is to keep AIing but get an Angus bull when you need a clean-up bull. Then you would have some smokey colored calves to market and you wouldn't be tempted to keep the heifers around because they wouldn't be purebred. Just an idea. [/QUOTE]
