[QUOTE="Col Reb, post: 1658921, member: 22810"] Not sure about the kind of cattle or your situation but don’t count on cows paying for anything. Don’t mean to bust your bubble. I have very little overhead & am doing good to break even. With that said, I’d look for a registered bull that you can see the epd’s on with low birthweight/calving ease If you’re getting black cows. If not breeding to first time heifers you’d be fine with a moderate bw. I’d go with what sells in your area. In my area you can’t go wrong with black or black baldies. If I had it to do over I might go with simmental. Kinda the best of both worlds but not popular in my area so would have to travel to find them. [/QUOTE]
