I'm new at this cow calf thing. We ran steers for a number of years but last year decided to start switching to cow calf. Right now I have 25 cows on two different farms and I need to buy my first bull but I'm not sure what to get.
A buddy and I both run cows on this place, he offered to let me to go halves with him because he didn't have enough cows. We used his hereford bull last year and this year its my turn to provide a bull. He has hereford heifers there and I have my simangus that will be breeding back after calving this spring.
I will be looking at our local bull sale to see what I can come up with. But this is a new experience for me. All my buddy cares about is calving ease for his heifers and something black to give him baldies. I guess I will go with angus but they also offer simangus, gelbvieh and balancers. Thanks for any advice ahead of time.
