Ok, I want to go with Murray Grey on my bunch of heifers this summer. My husband has agreed to my selection of breed after I have been showing him their benefits.
I don't want a bull, I want to AI.
I will not have a clean-up bull either. If they don't settle after the 2nd attempt the will go to our finish lot.
I will have between 15 to 20 heifers. These heifers are Angus/Gelbveih of varying %'s, both red and black, and a couple smokey's.
Don't hate me for the next statement. But, I would like a Black Murray Grey for the AI. Believe me, I hate the fact the color can make a difference in price, but the fact of the matter is it can and does. If I go with the Black MG, I may have a better chance of getting the "black" calves.
OKJeanne, Springer Farms, Msscamp.... any help would be appreciated, although I know purebred breeders hate the "black", I would appreciate any help.
BTW, low birthweight, as all but 2 will be 1st timers.
Thanks for any help! Michele
