[QUOTE="magpie, post: 21699, member: 62"] Hi Arnold, Glad to meet you. I have been following the bulls that you have mentioned. Most are from DCCI, and if I am not mistaken, Gizmo, is really a leader at putting beef style calves on the ground. When Bill will let me buy some more semen, I plan on getting some of Gizmo's. grins The black bull that I had talked about is a son of "Overwhelmer". He gets his black from his dam's side of his pedigree. We have been slowly building a herd with "Overwhelmer's" downline influence. And currently have as our "best" horned springing heifer, a grandaughter of "The Shadow". We too like the fancy colors, and recognize, that we shouldn't put all our eggs in one basket, which is why only part of our herd is solid colors. Have a cow due to drop a calf from "Coal Smoke" this spring. And my other new cow, will hopefully drop a "King" calf, if her A.I. took that is. Both of these cows we just purchased from the "Big Boy of Longhorns", DCCI. And I hope to pester them with more of my endless questions. As a newbie to the cattle business, I am prone to ask "why not?" instead of just going with tradition. (cross county with a flash lite, grins) And want to benefit others as part of "our" goal. Yes, we are learning by hard knocks too. But because "the world" is changing so fast, hope to find our niche in it. Even tho we are "very very small", we can contribute something beyond our "own noses". The fun of raising cattle, is if you have a plan, you can breed for what is right for you, no matter what style of "critter" you choose to do that with. And for me, the fun is in "learning" about what makes the cattle tick, and seeing whether or not my plan is working for me. We are only 110 miles from Amarillo, Tx, and you know how dry it can be here. The reason it costs so much per head for us, is we are doing on a small piece of land. 23 acres. Yes, I am running too many head, 2 cows on this property can be too many. grins But we have a darn good well, for the local area, (nope, not a pivet type), and hope to prevail anyway. I have so much to learn, I don't care which style of cattleman I get the answer from, as long as the answer is valid. Peace magpie [/QUOTE]
