[QUOTE="ROB, post: 564440, member: 3467"] these are good questions and i'll try to explain. the production sale i'm trying to get involved with is in north missouri. this area is know for predominantely black cattle, and i'm one of only a couple of breeders that run braunvieh. typically, at the braunvieh sales i've attended- there seems to be a lot of cattle trading going on between breeders with only a few new buyers present making purchases. marketing this heifer bred to a well known Angus bloodline will hopefully be an incentive for more bids. the heifer IMO is well representative of a quality female, and the 1/2 blood calf will qualify as a registered beef builder with the braunvieh breed. so in a nutshell, the heifer would be suitable for a fullblood or purebred breeder, the calf would fit in to a beefbuilder/purebred program, and the 878 bloodline will be familiar to Angus breeders attending the sale. as far as the bull goes- he definately throws good calves with consistent birthweights. AI is an option, but not one that i prefer to use. If i were to have AI'd this heifer, i would have went back a few generations to a bull that i trust throws light BW calves. no buyer's incentive here with fullblood/purebred breeders trying to promote the new and improved low BW bull. i do have a few of the last remaining straws of semen on a bull BRG U400. He is the lowest proven BW bull of the braunvieh breed- but i have other plans for him. ROB [/QUOTE]
