[QUOTE="OLF, post: 635125, member: 9761"] I think I got some good deals on the cattle. I bought 3 bred cows and a weanling bull for $8000. I would like to have gotten some of those $10,000 cows, but I just don't have the market to ever make them pay. I paid $2000 to have them shipped. From Alberta to NH, with high fuel prices, I don't see how the shipper made much. Fortunately, there were also cattle going to NY and VT. I'm excited about the Silencer calf, hopefully a heifer. So far I have 4 bulls and 2 heifers, and the heifers are a set of twins. Last year was 22 bulls and 8 heifers, something has to give. As far as breeding, I'm not sure. I have some Route 66 semen if I want to stay with Remitall lines. I also have some Domino 146 (Keynote son). If I really want to mix it up, I may go with RHF Victor 424 218. I used him ten years ago and really liked his daughters. I just recently acquired some of his limited supply of semen. Other options: Neon, Durango, Sonora, Bennett, Progress. I'll spend alot of time in the next couple months comparing everyone's strengths, weaknesses and numbers. It's a great time of year, I love calving and I love planning breedings. [/QUOTE]
