Saw one of the local commercial cattlemen at the feed store today. He has a great looking herd of angus cows and will run different breeds of bulls over them and sell all the calves as terminals and when he gets ready for replacements he runs a angus bull over em. So all his mama cows are all angus. I have always kinda looked up to him and he has helped me out with some things when I was starting out. I have angus cows, black baldys, and i recently just bought a lot of herefords. So i have a mixed herd. When i got to talkin to him today he said something along the lines of "You sure would be better off sticking with one breed. Dont know why you would want a mix of mama cows. You dont have any uniformity." I was kinda disappointed. I guess i am kinda just venting more than anything. But i wanted to see what some of you guys had to say about the matter.
