[QUOTE="gcreekrch, post: 1662824, member: 14161"] 😇 I agree with you on putting Red Angus bulls on white cows, Horned Hereford bulls too. One of the ranches we own took two runs to buy, the old, original owner had a herd of white cows that I had the same plans for but they wouldn’t accept our offer. The investment banker that offered more money sold to us before he was foreclosed on four years later for a lot less than he paid. He had sold the cows off so we didn’t get to do the trial. I still prefer Charolais as a terminal sire here.1500 lb cows don’t pay in our experience. I was a pretty young kid when my Dad’s neighbor AIed some cows Simmental, a bull named Baron. Lots of pulls on mature cows. He lost the inclination to stay Simmental in a few years. Went back to his Hereford x Shorthorn cows, later replacing the Shorthorns with Red Angus and a more acceptable calf for our markets. I still remember going up there after school and milking those bad bag cows out so the calves could suck....... Can still see some of the cows like it was this afternoon. Been almost 50 years!
