I like a long bull, heavy in the rear quarters, well made head with low birth weight EPD's, I buy a lot of old and small cheap cows every year, usually heavy bred, calve them out and breed back maybe the top 50% for another calf and sell the rest when they wean a calf. I need bulls that will put frame and growth on those calves out of small cows and cows that got a little longhorn or ear on them. I've found over the years that Charolais bulls clean scrub cows calves up better than Angus except on hereford cows, Charolais will take the ear and horn off most of them and the leather off their under bellies and throats. I use Angus or Brangus bulls on Hereford cows, purebred Hereford are discounted heavily in my area and I buy every one I can get.
