[QUOTE="KMacGinley, post: 618890, member: 3175"] Blackcowz: I am rather impressed with you, at your age, you are accomplishing great things. If I were your age again, I would look around quite a bit, decide what type of cattle you like and what will function in your area and breed them, keeping your ultimate customer the commercial cow-calf man in mind. You might check out the Shoshone herd and go to 5 barX and read the closed herd breeding thread, there is a ton of information there for the taking. You might also contact Tim Ohlde, there is a cattle breeder. I see you are using Homer, we have 1 Homer heifer and she is looking pretty good to me right now. It would be worth the trip to Palmer KS to see the cattle and how they do things. Your hero got most of his genetics from Ohldes, and I toyed with the idea of buying a bull from Kit, but then I decided that I might as well just go to the source. I am glad I did. Best of luck, but with your apparent work ethic at your age, luck probably won't have too much to do with your ultimate success. Keep up the good work. Oh and go ahead and breed a couple to those puffy clubby bulls. Won't hurt anything in the long run and you might impress some girl in the barn if you win. :) Or, if you get grand or Res and sell the calf in the auction, you will have the capitol to buy a good heifer.
