Even better is to not eat barnyard buzzard and stick with beef.3waycross":1rychb5p said:houstoncutter":1rychb5p said:If you were breeding F1 heifers sign me up, but as for bulls....No I am old school....this composite bull crud is going to be the death of us.....whens the last time you eat a chicken brest.....there is a perfect example of the composite breeding....They bred to get those big brests and they ended up with a big piece of dry meat.....These days i will only eat thighs and legs...Guess I view hybrid vigor different than some people, but give me a true F1 crossed with a purebull or fullblood that will compliment what your trying to achieve.
Yer just buying thw wrong chicken. Look for Redbird Farms. They are fed right and are cage free. I sell a ton of it every week and won't feed my family anything else.

WHat kind of rep do you have now, just starteing will be hard to break in unles you do something dramatic, remember most bull breeders have a battery of donors, mix and match. in my breed you may see 1 out of every 2-3 offspring turn out to be a breeder bull. Give us a little more detail, area, # of head, acres etc.

Thommoos, not pickin on u, but your above statement really explains a lot of what the problem is in the seedstock industry. Know matter the breed. Not enough use of castrating knife. :tiphat:
