[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1764821, member: 40587"] Lord, dunno why anyone would do that! Raising a Corr-Angus heifer to breeding age is gonna cost you some inputs for sure, because they won't do near as well without feed and supplemen5s as Corrientes will. And to breed them back? The 3/4ths Angus/1/4th Corr calves will be indistinguishable from the 1/2 Ang 1/2 Corrs at 6 mos, and will bring the same money at that size and age. We never keep one of those heifers. We sell them at 6 mos fpr $600-$750( last year) and take the money from one of the calves and just buy 2 Corr cows for that money or less if we need some. Plus the 2 Corr cows would not require as much food as one of the half-Angus would. Every year when we pull the bulls end of May, we put a Corr bull in for cleanup and they have April calves. Most we ever had was 12 out of the 120, and 8 of those were heifers one year...10 were bulls one year. The least we ever had that got bred by the clean-up bull was 4. Last year we only had 5... 1 steer and 4 heifer calves. which those 4 gals are all that is left of the famed Kudzu-Corriente herd. So every year we'd get a few Corr heifers we'd keep, And we keep the steer calves for roping or sell them to other ropers. [/QUOTE]
