[QUOTE="TdJ, post: 1706866, member: 27352"] I took the step. After sale barn stalking, many conversions and the great advice from you all I started looking in earnest at local breeders and online sellers. There's a lot of angus, brangus and hereford for sale around these parts with serious focus on genetics in many cases. The off-brand crosses I saw at the barn didn't look like something I wanted based on body condition, frame and temperament. So this weekend I had 12 Brangus heifers delivered, they're about 14 months old and not the cheapest way to start for sure. The goal with this group is the start of a breeding herd, I'll put a bull with them at around 2 years old. In parallel I'm going to get a group of 10 steers/heifers in at 300 to 400 lb and prep to sell. That'll feel like progress while I wait on the ladies to drop their first calves. In the meantime I'll focus on making my new 1980's baler, tractor, mower and brush hog all work so I can start saving some of the forage. No way 20 young'uns are going to get through this anytime soon... [/QUOTE]
