[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1775424, member: 22295"] We are trying something similar in our herd and so far it has worked for us. We have a baldie that is similar in type and also 3/4 Angus/ 1/4 Hereford. He is a son of Stock Fund and out of a cow by our son of East Money(Hereford) and her mother was a reg War Party daughter. He is a tank also. Not as framey as our buyers like but he will be used here. We are also retaining 1-2 more Stock Fund sons, 2 sired by an older Platinum son we bought and used one year and 1 sired by a grandson of Hoover Dam. We have cows in 7-8 pastures. Some only 7-12 per pasture so can’t justify a 5-7 thousand dollar bull for low numbers. We also have a Growth Fund son we bought last wi yet that was 2nd high indexing bull in a test we have hopes for. Also using 1 Hereford bull and 3?more Angus bulls. One a Hoover Dam grandson. The Hoover Dam influence works well for us. Growthy calves and females make top cows. Ours have more frame than some prefer. I like your black bull also. Using bulls we raise has worked well for us. Some of our top calves this year were sired by home raised bulls. [/QUOTE]
