[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1556675, member: 32659"] I don’t know how to answer below the quotes so here we go. 1. I’m talking about running yearlings not a bull sale. You know the kind of cattle that don’t have nuts and get fed everyday to gain weight and be sent to a feed yard. That’s what commercial cattleman are interested in. If you have such a great pen of bulls you should be doing this as a sideline for easy cash. Plus your customers could see the results of what a high powered bull would do. 2. I’m calling BS on your answer. I’ve bought land and am looking at a couple hundred more acres now. Banks loan money it’s what they do. Besides that if you’re as profitable as you say give them a business plan. It’s not hard at all. 3. 205 days 750-800# calves. This is where the yearlings come into play. Go buy you some good crossbred blacks breed them to your bulls and let us know the results. You don’t have to buy a 1,000 head 75 or so will do. No supplements or creep feeding these cattle they live off what the ranch has to offer. If it works you’ll be a wealthy man in no time. I really don’t care about all the hype and name dropping of high powered bulls and neither do 90% of commercial operators, we care about pounds on the ground at 205 days and feed conversion for the next 60-150 based on your operation. I had a SAV net worth son out of a $7,000 angus cow several years ago. Paid way too much for him as a 16 month old. He was a dud. Never grew off right and had calves that just weren’t all that. He was the going thing at the time though. Now the two homegrown Hereford bulls I bought a couple years ago and the Angus bull I bought from my neighbor as a 2 yr old they are men. Big stout bulls that don’t fall apart when taken off feed and can handle the heat. Calves are looking good too. Stop the name dropping and prove to me that your bulls or any angus bulls will add 200 pounds to the 550 pound stattic weaning weight. It’s been stuck at 550# for years. We buy a case of CAB steaks (ribeyes) about every month. They are good and I prefer them over most grocery store beef. I can get better at the butcher though. [/QUOTE]
