[QUOTE="Angus Cowman, post: 704549, member: 8829"] Calving hfrs is a full time job no matter what bull they are bred to or what type because I just never rest easy with hfrs, and yes I calve hfrs every yr and I have very few problems (knock wood) but I have also had some train wrecks as far as economics go you would be better off buying bred cows from a reputable breeder until you have some calving experience under you belt also you said buying 400lb hfr in Dec of 2009 and not breeding until 2010 that is a long wait and those hfrs would be about 20 months of age before being bred which in most operations is a little old I like my hfrs to calve at 23-26 months and you will have alot more money by keeping them that long buy ya some good 4-6yr old bred cows or 3 in 1s from someone reputable and get started sooner JMO [/QUOTE]
