[QUOTE="BIZIN, post: 752358, member: 5783"] Idaman... Stan Jacobs is the Ranch manager. The last 6 years I have bought loads of cows out of Douglas Lake. They preg check the cows and anything calving after April 15th is culled whether they are bred or not, so I buy them out of the auction mart for slaughter price, bring em here and preg check em and they are always 75-85% bred from April 20th-June 20th, which fits into my calving! Problem is they are wilder than any cow I have ever seen, will clear any fence I own and cant handle a Saskatchewan Winter!!! I have had alot better luck buying their Black Brockle face cows and not bothering with their hereford cows anymore. Put them in the feedlot for a month and walk through em every day and I would say 95% of them are fairly calm by calving time. So where abouts are you located Idaman, I am intrigued and was thinking about coming out that direction this summer to go to Douglas Lake and then into Washington to see Bill Bennett's herd. [/QUOTE]
