[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1784064, member: 40587"] No, wagyu wouldn't fit with what this man is doing. This man is a heart surgeon, not exactly broke. He grew up on a dairy, that toward the end turned into a beef cow-calf operation. He knows cattle..unlike some gentlemen farmers..he doesn;t have a farm manager. He runs the operation and directly instructs his employees/ Like most down here, he doesn't cojndition or wean calves, feed them out and stuff. he trailer weans steers at 6 mos. The sale barns he uses don't have the 18 wheeler load buyers, but most f the sale barn owners do conditioning at their place, where they cut, vaccinate etc. and get them eating. Then when they have truklod of similar size and kind, they will call a buyer to come get them. One carries to a feedlot in Oklahoma for himself and neighboring sale barn owners wo do this. He does wean and raise heifers, but they are mostly sold private treaty, like he is buying these redbranhgus x char and red angus xcharbray from Dan. I agree with you and the majority, his best bet would be red Simm. He should have some scale-mashing steers and some good replacement heifers. You also answered for me something that I had wondered for a while. The yellow and white Char x Simm show heifers my brother and his friend has in the 70's, that my grand father bought them and turned them out with his Angus.He bought 6 in the 3 years the boys showed, Every one of them had black baldies. I now understand that the red & white simms used back then most likely did not have a dilute gene, So the cross with charolais just had one copy of the dilute gene. It was luck of the draw that he got black baldies every year. If we had owned 100 instead of six, we would likely have had 50 smokies and 44 more black baldies every year. [/QUOTE]
