[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1652856, member: 40587"] I went down there this past week, while they were working those cows, and the 40 or so they bred to Chi-Angus bulls. I went there to help them learn how to use their horses to work their cattle better, and carried two that I am training down there to get them some experience. Helped them sort the cows with heifer calves into the corral at the working shed,. to be worked that next day, then turned out. And the ones with bull calves went to another corral to be worked today, I think. Out of the 86 Brangus x Black Herefords dropped, there were 45 heifers and 41 bull calves. Same with the 40 or so bred to the Chi-Angus bulls.. just about half and half heifers and bulls. I can tell you now how they will sell, because while I was there, a client of theirs from Alabama., that buys cattle about every year, paid them $30k, $1200 each, right then, for the pick of 25 of the 45 heifers at weaning. He also paid another $12.5k, for the pick of 10 of the Chi-Angus x Brangus heifers. They have bred red Hereford and Brangus in the past, both ways..hereford bulls on Brangus cows,. and Brangus bulls on Hereford cows. Their last calf crop like this were born this spring, Feb and March, and are about to be sold, or have sold recently. I dunno..these cattle are on a different farm.
