[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1823554, member: 40587"] Now [I]that[/I] sounds like a plan! You can put quite a nice chunk of change in your pocket selling 28 head! Put $5k of it in your bull fund, then go to buying cows whenever you find a good one you want. As the fall progresses and winter comes on. you will see a lot of good cattle sold. Cool thing about buying pairs, is you can see what kind of calf she is raising. You see a nice looking black cow with a red calf, you know she is heterazygous black, but don't matter, because you gonna buy a homozygous for polled and black bull. You see a good Hereford or Braford cow, get her, She will have good black calves by your new bull. Some good looking black and/or bwf Simms come through...you won't know if they are homo for black und polled or not, but it won't matter. Your bull will be both. Buy more than 5, if you have the money left out of selling the 28 head and putting $5k back for the bull. Probably a LOT left.
