[QUOTE="bullred, post: 125197, member: 1733"] Thanks for all the advice and recommendations. I even appreciate the advice of those recommending I sell all my cows and get out of the cattle business! However, I think I'll chance it a little longer. Yes, these are all bred cows that have had at least two calves already. So I'm not particularily worried about calving problems, especially since they're currently bred back to Angus or Brangus bulls. I don't think I need to pitch a tent on the pasture for a couple of months during calving season, although I will be making as many trips out to check on them as I can. Twice a day when they start calving shouldn't be too hard to do. My thought on the Charolais is that what I loose by not having a black calf, I'll make up for in gross body weight. I plan on buying all my replacements and not retaining any heifers. Also, I'll have the Angus bull season after next if I pick up any heifers. My thought on the Limousin was that I'd get a black calf that would be a little larger at weaning than with the Angus. I just don't know much about Limousins. If they are tempremental, or high maintenance I'd just as soon pass on them. CJ [/QUOTE]
