I was wondering if I could get some suggestions for a bull to AI my Hereford cow to. This will be her 2nd calf.
I'm torn between going Hereford or going Angus, but these are what I'd like:
Good feet
good temperament
blocky, shorter in stature, with good muscle
If she has a steer it'll be for beef for us, heifer, maybe sell?? That's why I'd like a shorter cow, we're on only 4 acres, and docility is important also.
Guess I could ask about what MG he has in his tank too, oh decisions, decisions...
Her first calf was easily popped out, a 66 pound Murray Gray, so could go bigger, but don't want a trainwreck either.
My AI guy is with ABS, so it would help if suggestions are for common bulls---
Gotta decide before tonight so of course I;m at work now... so I can't agonaize too much over it.
Thanks!
Susie
