Chance.......There is a lot to be said about thriftyness, but running three Corrientes to one beef cow might be a stretch I'll give you two correnties to one good med frame beef cow and beef cow will wean an average of 575lbs at 1.20 to your 350X2=700lbs at .95 (IF they come out black
) and it would be a close race.
I would'tn do much more than THINK about the Correntie cows. But.....I do like the idea of Correntie bulls on a set of hiefers...if she cant get bred by a corretie bull you know there is something wrong with her....and like you said the calf would hit the ground runnin'
The market is good right now. Last Saturday at Navasota.....top quality 6 weight steers brought over 1.10. Should be up again this week. My Dad bought a bunch of yearlins in January and Febuary some stuff he's gonna send to the feedlot when they were basically giving your lesser quality cattle away and hes hualing a load back to the sale barn they will bring 50% more than what he payed for them just one-two months ago why waste time sending them to the feedlot? I told him I did'nt know he was a cow trader.
