[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1829368, member: 42463"] Down in Arkansas I worked for an outfit that supplied eggs, meat type chicks, and breeding poultry all over the world. They had several jets and their own airport. They invested in cattle to feed out under contract and owned about 18K head at any one time. And they also had the best Gerts I've ever seen. Selling a bull in the 100K range wasn't unusual. One year they did a bunch of crossbreeding to see how their Gerts would perform in commercial herds and I bought several of the crossbred heifers. They really knew what they were doing when they managed their Gerts... and they brought that with them in choosing the animals they crossed their bulls to. And the heifers I got were exceptional. I got into Limousin later through another great outfit, and had great results with the Lims, but I can't say I liked them any better than the Gert crosses. [/QUOTE]
