[QUOTE="GWhit, post: 80618, member: 1474"] I appreciated all the advice you gave me on my question about the Angus source tags. I have a very small operation with 10 cows and a bull and want to expand as I am able. However, I am wanting to manage the ones I have now to make as much as I possibly can. A recap of what I have is: A registered Angus bull and you name it on the cows. My question is, Would I be better off to start tring to cull out some of my cows alittle at a time with Registered Angus cows and try selling them through the paper, bargin post ect for possibly 2 or 300.00 more than what I am now getting through the sale barn for the calves? Also, I have a couple of black cows that are what I call trouble makers that I really want to cull out. They are always tring to push on the fences, tring to bust through the corral and anything they can do to be destructive. At the same time I have an older Herford that always delivers a great calf and never gives me a bit of trouble. Is this more of a breed issue or an attitude issue? I live in Oklahome and would appreciate your advice on what I should try and achieve for a more uniform herd whether it be the Angus or even getting more Herford Cows for selling Black Baldies. Also What I should expect to pay for a good breeding age Cow whether it be Angus or Herford ect. Thanks for the help and the advice! [/QUOTE]
