[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 6302080, member: 2119"] Whatever you can get hold of from a TB4 area from somebody reputable within a reasonable distance are also factors. There is a limit to how long you can spend going to markets or going to look at stock, listening to baloney and how clever people are and transporting them miles. Which is why we just buy stirks and fatten them. Too much to do without the breeding malarkey. The most profitable sucklers I ever bought were two very poor british white 3 year old small cows that they put on to make up a load. Each calved on its own to a white shorthorn bull for two years. I kept the calves as bulls as sold them fat at 13 months old about 520 kg. They wouldnt have won any prices in the christmas fatstock show but they made more profit for the little they ate and the little trouble they casued than any other beast i have ever kept since. Two very nice, lively little cows who were attentive good milking mothers. [/QUOTE]
