[QUOTE="Bojangles, post: 436119, member: 3590"] I think I would look at splitting the herd in to your best breeding and milkiest cows - keep with the Angus but be very picky of the bull and use one with the traits you are looking for to breed replacements Then if you want a high value store especially in the north then put all the rest to a "easy calving Charolais" The main reason I say this is that with good bull selection for replacements you are keeping what has worked whilst still improving the genetics. The Charolais on the Angus works well and will give you a significant lift in value IMO You could then in future use the Angus on hfrs and second calvers before the big boy gets a go on them. I know a man with 300 Angus who switched to this system and would never go back he out winters them all on hill ground [/QUOTE]
