Pure bred, all the time, from known breeders, with EPDs, and preferably performance tested. I use PB Angus and PB Charolais. My goal is to have angus x charolais cows bred back on either breed bull. If I could buy the cows I want Id only use Charolais but, since I cant I have to run both and breed my own replacements.
Cows, and bulls, operate on a system. The make it or they leave. Live calf every 12 months on hay, pasture, and good mineral mix. 205 day weight at or greater than 600 pounds with no grain. Breed back in a 90 day breeding season, first calf at 20-24 months. One herd with 2/3 of my cows fall calves, the balance spring calves. When heifers calve determine where they end up. Heifers coming back into their first calf typically cant keep up, so they get one pass into the other group. After that, you dont make the program, you get a ride to town. Its worked for me and worked well for many years, when I started 400 pound weaning was my goal. The challenge has added half a calf to each calf in the process in 20 years.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
