NE Oregon | This is what has worked for us. We run a straight black angus commercial herd. Heifers, 1st, and 2nd Calvers run with black angus bulls and we are picking bulls we would want daughters out of. While raising their 3rd black calf, they start running with charolais bulls and stay there the rest of their years.
We did try something this year however, we sorted off 15-20 of our 11 year old or older cows that we like. Good bags, temperament, obviously longevity and turned a black bull with them a week earlier than everything else. We have struggled to produce enough quality replacement heifers for ourselves in the past and this idea made the most logical sense to try. | |
