[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 798718, member: 5381"] I have one about 7 or 8 years old that I bought a few years back that was 5 months bred for $590. She is a smaller cow that is apparently crossed with something, maybe a long horn. She raises a good good calf and if it is solid colored will bring about the same as the rest. She does milk out well and the calves grow quick. Two things I have learned is to breed her to angus as you mentioned to get solid black calves. The other is the calves rapid growth seems to play out when they get 6-7 months of age and need to be sold then. They don't seem to grow as well as the others after weaning. I doubt if you can get them cheap enough at this time with the current price of slaughter cows. [/QUOTE]
