[QUOTE="OBAX, post: 1688321, member: 24445"] One thing I will say, and this is strictly a matter of opinion, I will treat a dozen cases of pinkeye before I have a single eared cow on my place. I’ve had amazing luck with SimmentalXRed Angus cross and Hereford has played a role in my operation. I’ve even crossed in some charolais in last few years and those buckskin calves have been great. I have several simangus cows that are raising their 11th calf as I type this. Easy conditioning, longevity, docility, they have it all! But…….I also don’t mind paying a premium for a bull that fits my goal. He is HALF of everything I plan to accomplish for the next few years so I’m not for skimping on bull quality to save a few thousand bucks. Every breed gets blamed for something, but I think we should start looking at the good traits and stop being lazy and work to prevent the things that we lay blame for. My $.02. [/QUOTE]
