[QUOTE="Toad, post: 1114104, member: 20188"] So far I don't have a good enough quality of cows to retain heifers in my opinion. But I didn't want to start my operation with the best cows and then do something stupid and lose high dollar animals. As time goes along and I learn what to do I will buy better stock. My buddy is stuck on Hereford momma's but I'm not a fan of what I've seen. This winter they just don't have the fire in the belly to want to live and the prices he gets for calves in the market don't impress me. The simangus I have seem to do alright. I also have a few charolais cross heifers on another farm that will need to be bread back after they drop calves in June. Long story short I have such a mix of stock that I might agree a good angus bull may do the trick. The reason I don't want to go in halves with my buddy is we only run cattle together on one place and both of us have cattle at several other places. I'm going to want to move the bull along to anther farm at some point. The deal we have now is that we take turns providing the bull and the other guy pays a bit more of the rent that year. Its worked well so far. Thanks again for the advice. [/QUOTE]
