[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1764701, member: 40587"] My partner and I kept a herd of 120 Corr cows (until this summer). We used Angus at first., then the past decade Brangus, and the last 3 years we used Ultrablacks. We'd put enough bulls on them every year to have about a 4 week calving window, but some years it wasn't that long. Every calf every year was black and polled, and weighed 45-500 when weaned at 6 mos. We sold the herd when the calves were about 3 months old, but last year they weighed from 434 smallest heifer heifers to %20-something largest steer. At $1.54 these calves sold for the same thing as any other black calves sold for this time last year. $750 calf out of a $250 cow with zero inputs. They lived on 200 acres of cut-over pulpwood, kudzu, honeysuckle, blackberries, poke salad, broome sage and Johnson grass. All that is on it right now, is 4 pure Corr heifers born March 0f '21, 5 plummer cows and their calves, and a Brah x Chianina and a Brahma. x Chiangus ...heifers..... both about 19 mons old, and our pure Corriente cleanup bull. If it weren't for my age and health, I'd fill that place up with Corr cows again. [/QUOTE]
