Thanks. When I raised sheep the generational turnover and improvement was so fast. With cattle it is so slow. We we see if we can get a herd of low input animals.
Good to see that you know what direction to go. It would be interesting to see if you can get a heifer calf out of the angusX heifer from the southpoll bull for possible future breeding
We do dna on all cows/bull/calves. Very simple procedure. With our registry only 100% full blood dna tested can be registered. All of ours are 100% fullblood.
Are yours south poll? We used to dna test and register our sheep. Have never done it with cattle since I’ve never sold breeding stock. Seems like all the cattle registries have different rules and procedures.
I appreciate you sharing your thoughts!

I put a cheap carabiner in the lock slot for insurance on my gates, but that chain seems to work great as well

Yea, I’m sure that not all of the heifers will turn out to be keepers, but that angus x Hereford heifer sure is nice looking.
We feed supplements to keep the mommas healthy
My goal is low stocking density and low input. I see the whole range of animals thriving to animals struggling.
