[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 538264, member: 7645"] What are your goals here??? If you are trying to raise a set of commercial replacements for your herd, then those bulls crossed to your best cows SHOULD be an improvement. WHY spend thousands of $$$s buying registered Angus females UNLESS you want to get in to the registered Angus business? If you are trying to produce replacements to sell to other people, I think you are going to be disappointed with that market. I have been mightily underwhelmed by the Alabama replacements market in the last ~18 months. I don't know enough about the Florida replacement female market (or your existing cow herd) to advise you whether you need to switch mama cows or not. Maybe somebody with the Florida Beef Cattle Improvement Association (or it's Florida equivalent) could advise you about what kind of females sell in central Florida. I hesitate to give advice about what will or won't work in Florida; but if I were THAT far south, I probably wouldn't want to purchase purebred Black Angus females for a commercial environment (and I do like Angus).
