Awhile back I posted asking about selling off and replacing with top quality red angus herd. Ended up buying 12 bred red angus/red baldies, kind of happy medium between risking it all and moving a diffferent direction. That's the back story if you missed it.
So a good friend of mine has offered to sell me 1-50 heifers at good price. He's always had red angus from a high end herd in Kansas using red angus bulls. Calves are outstanding, really like them. This last year he decided to sell the red angus bull and swap out to Hereford bulls to get red baldies which I do like a lot too. I am really trying to work out the finances to buy all I can of these red angus because it's the last of them. How ever I really like the calves I get out of the reds and red baldies I currently have. I get the same deal in fall of the Hereford sired calves. Short term plans are to use my black simangus bulls on these replacements to get those premiums on black hides. Long term I'm undecided on herd sires, red angus or Hereford to raise my own replacements or stay black and buy the heifers. That part we will see. Thoughts?
