I want him to breed cows terminal bull
I'm not sure on which exact one belongs to which cow but I've seen the cows and know the bull they're out of

I notice about a $20 per cwt difference here on weaned cattle, not as much on feeders. Not questioning you, just don't want you to sell yourself short. The reds do make some good low maintenance maternal cows.Cross-7":1cmb8jfn said:RanchMan90":1cmb8jfn said:Haha. Why red for terminal bull?Cross-7":1cmb8jfn said:I want him to breed cows terminal bull

All things being equal on a red calf vs a black calf
I'd don't think we are getting the big premium on black calves like we were a few years back
But the main reason for looking at these bulls are they are close by and I like the price.

In the truly elite sets of cattle at the videos, an outstanding set of reds will very often top their weight class. Been doing so for a couple years now. Top to bottom, Red Angus has done as good of job or better than any of the other breed associations and its starting to show.
No bias here, while I buy for stockers and feeders a lot of Red Angus cattle, we own exactly zero Red Angus bulls. Though that may change as we've been doing some ranch visits and exploring what a transition from Black to Red Angus for the Angus component of our bull battery may look like and have been talking a bit with breeders we've identified who produce the quality of bulls we'd want in the sort of volume we need.
I don't disagree. The majority of cows are black where we run but reds have gone from just the old school holdouts to a noticeable minority, perhaps 15-20%.Cross-7":1d2mhlmv said:js1234":1d2mhlmv said:I'm really seeing the pendulum swing to a certain degree.

Im no expert or want to build a better cow type, but a few years back the black angus went the way of bigger is better as to the red angus guys stayed on course.
IMO I think the red angus are better cows because of that.
In Sw Oklahoma lots of ranches have went to red angus cows.
I see more red cows than black in my area.
Still lots of black bulls and black calves though
