[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 20602"] Hello: I do go to the sell barn and buy charolais cross bred calves and do feed them out for resale and they at times do great. But I only buy 1/2 to 3/4. They do grow out well for me. There is one charolais cross that I am now buying lots of and I am going to keep a few of the crossbred heifers and see how the do perform as cows. I only buy calves sired by a Polled charolais bulls. I do know in advance the breed that I am going to breed the heifers too and as well a list of bulls that I do know that are ease calving. So I do know in advance there will not be any problems. When I buy charolais cross cattle I do know in advance what I am going to pay for them and I do have a limit on what that will be. But that is the way I buy any breed of cattle. I got one charolais bull calf on Dec. 5th,2003 when the market was very low from all of the media coverage of Mad Cow that was the deal of 2003. In Nov of 2003 the same bull would have sold for three times more than what I did pay for him. The bull calf was a percentage charolais bull sired by a top charolais AI sirer! There are a few parts of the USA where there are lots of charolais cattle. Regards; Lee [/QUOTE]
