[QUOTE="greatgerts, post: 914471, member: 181"] We show some of our offspring and sell some for show. We also raise them to breed and sell some as breeding stock. We take a good percentage of our bull calves to market. We try and gain test a few, and have sold bulls born and raised in Missouri to breeders in parts of Texas that hadn't seen rain in over a year. We mainly run pure Gerts, but have a few crosses for breeding up and for recipes. My favorite is the Gert x Hereford cross. They make some excellent cows. I have one 3/4 Gert 1/4 Angus heifer that can compete with the purebreds any day. She was better than some of her purebred siblings (same bull). Her sire actually sold in the sale last weekend. We have 3 yearling bulls that we are going to evaluate in a couple of weeks for their yearling weights, scrotal circumference, etc. If any do not meet our requirements, they will be on a one way trip to town. I will add that one of these bulls has some of the highest EPD's for 2011 spring calves. We have been at the registered game for 20 years, and are just now getting to where we can be confident in keeping bulls we produce to use and having a few generations of females that we have produced in production.
