[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1819364, member: 39373"] Let's cuss and discuss. As ya'll know Big Sexy had to go. I like eared cattle, but the buyers not so much. The hereford sired calves over my main herd do really well. I've posted about that some too! I have 4 colored cows. 1 of which is a project so I don't know if she's gonna stay or not. So most of "my girls" are black hided now. About 10 cows at each place. Yep! I'm small timer. That drought last year forced me to cull very hard. Harder than I wanted to really. So! I'm leaning towards a Hereford or Blaze face sim-angus. Or possibly a homo black hereford. The goal is black baldy calves. I really like em. Every one of em has their own special markings etc. Makes em easy to identify what cow they belong to etc. I usually take pics when calf is born in case I can't get it tagged that minute. I can always compare pics and identify. I like to tag em to match mama. I need good calves. I'd be happy with a bull that did what Big Sexy did. I'd prefer BLACK baldies. Tho some red baldies do ok, but with my small herd, the uniformity would be much better. So there we are. For the most part that's what I'm thinking. I've given up on the idea of producing eared calves. Don't mean I won't have a project or two. But the eared ones don't bring as "much" And gentle!! Gotta be gentle! I could load Big Sexy by myself. Did it all the time. And gentle calves would be awesome too. He passed that trait along for the most part. [/QUOTE]
