[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1822965, member: 40587"] For the 4th time in about 3 weeks, I have seen some red Angus cows that just impressed the heck out of me! Went to look at some yesterday, that had calves sired by a BWF Simm bull. They were about half solid black and half with that white forehead patch you see on some Simms. I guess I just really haven't paid much attention to today's red angus til here lately. I guessed the age of his calves to be 2 months older than they were. I asked if he was about to wean them, and he said no, they are just 4 to 5 months old. There wasn;t a one that won;t weigh over 500 lbs. I tyold him about my young friend, who was looking for some red angus to breed tohis Black Hereford for some blackbaldies. He said he was thinking the same thing! Said he was considerig selling his bull and buying a BH. He wanted black baldies too! I was thinking to myself "I wouldn;t change a THING in his program". I asked what he wanted for the bull. and I told him I had run up on some good Black HJereford bulls lately, and he asked me would I want to do some trading. On the way home, I called my friend and told him about this BWF Simm bull. The man wanted twice what he paid for the Black Hereford this week.
