Yes you can buy better bulls. A better bull will turn your herd around in short order. Plan to purchase the best bull you can afford. A rule thumb is to estamiate the combined value of your top three cows and plan to spend at least that amount on a bull. The calves he produces should be better than the cows from which they were born.
Since you like Brangus try Camp Cooley Ranch (Brinks) bulls. I know for a fact they will turn most herds around fast. I purchased one from Brinks and it made all the difference in the world. The calves were uniform with low birth weights and hit the ground growing. They had good muscle and outstanding heifers for keepers.
Good luck

We have a thread out there right now from a big time beginner that just wants pets, but people made good comments about their cattle they bought. If it is a good one people will say so, if it is a bad one people will also say so. If it is so so, people will generally let you know this also.
I find the comments on pictures to be very honest and in line with the pictures. If your animal looks better than that picture then make sure you take better pictures. Usually the real harshness comes when the person posting the picture likes their animal and the others do not. Or the animal is wayyyyy to bad of a specimen to ever have a picture taken of it.

Looks like I made the typo. He looks more like 16 mo than 36 mo.J":1b63ewrm said:Sorry about that J.My mistake for putting 36 mo instead of 16 mo.la4angus":1b63ewrm said:Is this not a TYPO and supposed to be 16 mo.NewCowboy":1b63ewrm said:What about this bull, 36 months old...:
