[QUOTE="mnmtranching, post: 508116, member: 3937"] This is what I did about 10 years ago to get into some Angus cows. I got purebred commercial cows. Bought them from a farm. Found ads in the paper and went and looked them over. Looked a several herds, it was obvious they were selling off the bottom. So don't go that route. Heard of a old rancher who had passed away, the heirs wanted to sell.[not someone else's culls] I walked among the cows, They didn't bother to get up on their own, had to be pressed to stand, none bothered to stop chewing. So the [disposition] is important. Cows were on 2'nd to 6'th calf [young] Cows showed calf [closeup] The udders sound with small teats [udders are very important] Cows were bred to a good low birth weight Angus bull [calving ease] This worked well for me, I got easy handling cows that all raised good calves for many years, always topping the market. If I were to do it again I would look for the same type of cattle. Hope this helps you. [/QUOTE]
