[QUOTE="hevmando, post: 1010226, member: 19737"] I like firesweep's reply. I think beef is the way to go long term vs. the dairy breeds because of your small size. My kids are 12, 14, 17, started 5 years ago with a steer and a heifer. For baby steps I like the heifer calf idea, show it, grow it, breed it, calve it, show the calf, etc. For quickest way to better show cattle, if I was to do it over again I'd buy the best bred heifer or proven cow I could afford. But for the show experience, start with a calf. None of the suggestions are "wrong", just what is right for you. [/QUOTE]
