Turned out the young one

[coachg]

Here's a pic or 2 ( not great ) of me letting him through the gate . He's 20 months old and hoping he gets the job done . He's been wanting to be with the ladies!

Hopefully that's not a big old snake right there.

I turned out a young one myself a week ago. He only has 10 to take care of this year, so he should be fine.

It's not ! It's an old back rub . Usually that gate is open and I run a back rub across it . Cows go from our 40 pasture to the smaller 18 acres where I kept the bred heifers this year .

Here he is out in the 40 pasture. I laughed at his willingness to breed the other day . The cow in heat was in the pond and he was too . He just couldn't get the job done in the pond .

Yes I would. I had contacted a Red Angus breeder but they want more than I want to spend but maybe I am behind the times. What are reg. black/red Angus bringing in this market?

Average would probably be $5000 and up for decent bulls. $2.00/lb for any old bull.

Well then I am going to look at a 21 month old red Angus tomorrow. I am not that knowledgeable on EPD's and his reg. # is 4892476. Any input is welcome.

Look at the bull and the breeders other cattle. Usually visiting with the breeder and looking at there cattle will tell a lot more than papers and EPD's . Don't be afraid to ask questions that is how we all learn.

Are you in a hurry? Buying a bull before you know what to look for? If you know what a good bull LOOKS LIKE... then go to the breeder and look over what he has to offer. Choose as many as impress you and THEN look at their EPDs. If you can't find one that satisfies your eye, before looking at the EPDs, go look for a different breeder.
Many cattlemen forget that they are selling meat on the hoof. You want bulls that will produce meat and that also means they need to perform in the field by servicing cows. Start with that.

I am in a hurry and I do know exactly what I want. I have seen both the sire and dam and phonetically they both were outstanding. I want moderation, I don't want fire and ice breeding, I just wanted feedback on the EPD's and I am not knowledgeable on Red Angus EPD. I pulled the trigger on the bull and he is being delivered this Wednesday. I will post some pictures.
