[QUOTE="fargus, post: 722113, member: 13480"] Thanks for the input VLS. I've been out of the loop on the Char breed for several years now. Just took over from the folks and we've gone back to our nucleus Simmental herd. Will be a couple years before I need a new white bull to use on the F1 commercial cows. That Fasttrack son we had was the best one I've ever seen, front to back, top to bottom, and he threw great calves that came easy and started fast. Lots of older fellas around here think we're nuts. This is "Ontario's Cattle Country" but it isn't what it used to be. Lots of grass farms get tiled and plowed every year. I hope going against the grain pays like I think it will long-term. If I can't run cattle here, we'll pack our bags and head somewhere else where there is a chance of being profitable. My great-great grandaddy left Scotland to get a new start. I don't think he would want us to hang an anchor around our necks for the sake of the homestead. Back to the topic at hand. Weren't the bulls JWK Impressive and WCR (right prefix?) Prime Cut good performance/terminal type sires? I still believe that is the role of the Charolais in our industry. [/QUOTE]
