[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1743174, member: 40587"] I don't see how you can lose on these 2, Murray. Their calves, even if they are non-black, horned heifers should bring back the $600 or close to it. And the cows will bring that or maybe more when you sell them. You said you have 2 places, 35 acres and 45 acres, with 15 cow each? Get rid of the grade bulls, and buy [I]one[/I] registered Brangus bull. You could move all the cows to one place for 30-45 days to breed them. You'd end up with a uniform calf crop of black polled calves, and I guarantee you they'd weigh 550 or more at 7 mos. Last year our "Kudzu Corriente" herd's steer calves weighed between 500 and 540 at 6 months. We used registered Ultrablack bulls that year, and these cows are around 700.. maybe a few were close to 800 lbs. I think with a good bull you would be very close to getting or exceeding that 550lb weight at 7 mos. [/QUOTE]
