[QUOTE="tlmcr, post: 325656, member: 4930"] Hoss: I am in a better mood than Badlands so I will play. I am a Hereford breeder and that is what I would continue to do as follows: I would go out to the Cooper and Holden sales in Montana in February and buy every heifer they have for sale (total of 28) I would do this because their cattle are very easy to look at, extermely consistant, very productive and functional and have extreme longevity. I would breed all the heifers to Wrangler 19D, low birth weight and both sons and daughters are well accepted. The next year I would breed them to proven bulls that are known for both excellent sons and daughters such as Govenor 236G, SHF Interstate, P606 and KCF Bennett M326 Over time I would build my own cow families from the top 4 or 5 original heifers and continue to breed AI to top multitrait sires. As for marketing I would advertise in various publications, take cattle to shows and displays such as Denver and Louisville and sell cattle through my state association sales. I would also sell commercial type bulls at a local auction in my area. Doing this would connect me with other seedstock producers and commercial breeders alike. There is still time to start this program this year, just send the money my way and I get going. Tom [/QUOTE]
