North Central Texas
Bacon summed it up. All Angus and have boys who just finished their 6th year breeding. Many different bloodlines and dozens of bulls. Sometimes you get one that makes it only a year or two but that isn't the norm and accidents happen too. Sometimes you can find length of longevity in a line but it is very limited from the lines we use. Now I don't want an overfed yearling and he is going on grass for months to acclimate him before he ever sees a cow.

My neighbor has bought his way to being the largest Murray grey breeder in the US. He bought every quality animal he could find. There are still many MGs out there but what remains leaves a lot to be desired so new genetics are coming out of your country. A few breeders that he wouldn't buy from quoted pharo when he asked what shots they had or asked other questions. He said they needed to follow someone who knew how to raise cattle, not kill them.
