Red angus

Been a long 2 plus years, drought, no rain, more drought and all that goes with it. 13 inches of rain and a fair calf crop have kinda brought things to a better place.  Have stayed home a lot, got calves on the ground, just want to know what the reds are doing.  Seem really quiet, big dispersion coming in fall, is there a future for this breed?  Tried several bulls, fat Tony, expectation, jack hammer.  Calves look good, just not a lot of gas in the tank, big enough might be the question.

Bred a stallion daughter to a black bull, she has 4 daughters and 2 granddaughters on the place.
Just don't hear much, would appreciate a little feedback.

You can't feed your way out of drought. We've had 6 inches of rain here. If anyone still has cows they are running half stocking rate. There is no one praising jesus here. Sell if you can start over. Corn is getting cheaper......I think the pasture ground market will crash by half in the next 10 years. I would be in a defensive mode......maybe buy some 2,000# shorthorn show cows and ride this baby out.jmo

You might not be able to feed your way out of a drought, but, you can find genetics that require less feed than others.
The bulls you tried cowman are not known for "easy feeding".
The reds that I have had experience with are easy feeding, but you have to study the pedigrees.

Future for the breed is very very bright.  Many area's are no longer "black only" markets, and have found reds to be more heat tolerant and easy feeding. Plus, their disposition are second to none. Many are also realizing that if they are in an area that still pays a premium for black hair, than red momma's mated to a black bull will create the perfect product. The red momma will be easy keeping, milk heavy, breed back, and the black bull will add the black hair.

Get your final product in mind, feeder calves, fat calves, show calves, and then think of your market, sale barn, direct sales, fat market. Then and only then, research the red pedigrees. I would be more than happy to tell you know what I know, but hate to advise without knowing all the specifics and anyone who advises without details, is doing you a disservice.
