Bulls!

[cowman]

A controversial subject?
The boy has decided that we need a change. We need to "Go Black"...specifically Black Angus!
Now I'm not all that keen on this scenario...but hey all these cows are in his name...so what can I say?
I think I have him basically convinced that "easing into this thing" is better than a wholesale change!
So it is buy a couple and drag the old AI tank out again....I thought I was finished with my arm up a cows butt!LOL
We haven't bought a bull for about three years and he was a 4 year old char out of a real good cattlemans dispersal sale. He went down the road this fall.
I really don't like Angus...never did! But I will admit the times are changing and you have to go with the flow!...I talked and talked Charlais but it was a no go! I still think the Charlais breed was the best damned thing that ever happened to North America! Just my opinion.

They make black Charolais, cowman. Get out yer wallet...don't get hurt! I personally love the Charolais too! Not sure how much more "black" we need.
Thanks for reading. have a good day all!

How long did you think it would take cowman.

Our 2007 string is now online. Don't be scared to let your son at the computer to read some of the things I wrote about the bulls.

Angus are good, Charolais are good, Welsh Blacks and Galloways are just as good.

Whoops --- just about forgot - Herefords are good too whitey!!!!

Cowman, there are bigger problems facing producers than the color of bull they keep. How about trying to solve them?

[rkaiser]

I know you don't like ranchers.net grassfarmer but further to your comment to cowman - we actually have a pretty good thread going over there about "who will lead us into the future". Come and have a look.

Hey, don't forget the black gelbviehs, kinda the best of both worlds and easy to get along with.....

Our herd is Charolais, and we use red Limo. We love the cross. Get your son to find some Char/Limo calves and then see if he still wants black.

We keep hearing about good money being spent for silver calves, but personally have never seen it. Not in Manitoba any way.

I agree Kato. I have used red limo bulls on char cross cows and they throw nice calves. Infact if you really want to fool the neighbors kick a Black limo bull in with your cows, he will usually throw red or balck calves.

Randy like the look of your critters I tried to call you the other night but jsut got your voicemail. Need to talk to ya so we can shoot the breeze before your sale.

I'll see you at Fraser's sale on March 19th in Brooks-heck I can even deliver you some good Angus semen if you bring your tank-I'll have mine there.
