[QUOTE="CreekAngus, post: 1593042, member: 38224"] Really! You have to ask! Tonya you live in the heart of Angus country. Any direction you go, you run into quality seed stock. I think you have to ask yourself what is your end game. Smaller outfits produce great cattle, but prefixes mean something. If you’re selling seed stock it means something to have progeny out of Hoover, OCC, Mohnen, etc. But you can find outlier cattle a lot easier in smaller herds for a lot less money. At your size, I think you have the best of both worlds, buy from all and any. I look at operations that run the size and phenotype I like and feed them similar. I want frame 7 so I went to Rathbun and Crouthamel, who run that type of cattle and phenotype I want. Down the road I would love to add Thomas, Kessler and JR Ranch into the mix. These are outfits out here in the west. [/QUOTE]
