[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 559783, member: 13"] My Dad always used an Angus bull, but the breed selection was pretty limited back then. When we started looking for a bull to breed to our heifers, we discovered EPDs. Back then we had to do some searching to find an Angus bull with EPDs. We thought he was awfully expensive, so we bought a registered cow with a bull calf at side and were going to raise our next herd sire. It didn't take long to realize that wasn't as simple as we thought. :lol: We bought more cows, another Angus bull and a Char bull. When cattle prices fell, we sold off the commercial cows and got strictly into the registered Angus business. Black was not beautiful back then and it's been a lot of fun to watch acceptance and demand of the Angus breed grow over the years. We've been raising them for about 20 years now and I don't see changing breeds at this point. [/QUOTE]
