Thanks Doc and everyone else for your input on my questions... you've helped tremendously. Still think I'm going with Gert Cows and Angus bull. Just really like the characteristics that both breeds have and of course the fact I can use the bull for free!

I really appreciate all the input from all of you, I'm learning so much. As many of you I too prefer the RED but my understanding from talking to people around where I live, BLACK is what brings more at the sale; that's the only reason I was considering going with the black and also because my...

LazyM, thanks for all the info. have a question for you... If I have the resources do you think I could make a larger profit if I had beef/dairy cross cows and put 3 or 4 calves on them each; sell all the calves at weaning and so forth???

sure not kidding about that. lol

I'm going with Gert cows and Black angus bull. I like the possibilities I get with these two breeds and then of course it helps that I have relatives that raise both! lol Hopefully get a deal! :D Thanks for all the input guys!

Thanks guys! I really appreciate your input. Now just gotta save a little more cash and get those Gert cows.

True... I had consider that option also, again because I can get a couple of starter cows from my uncle. Have one more question for you... what about an Black Angus bull with the Gert cows? Only asking cause my brother has an angus bull... looking for all kinds of ways I can save some bucks...

do you think Charlais w/Angus is a better choice???

Thanks dun, I hadn't thought of that. My main concern was trying to make sure that most of my calves are black because right now that seems to be what is bringing the money in texas.

I think I've finally narrowed my choices down on what breeds to go with... tell me what you guys think. I'm thinking of going with Brangus cows and a Santa Gertrudis bull. Leaning toward the Gert bull because my uncle has raised gerts forever and think I could get the services of the bull for...

Thanks to all of you who gave input on the question of which breed you thought was the best option. I'm really leaning toward the Brangus cows w/ Santa Gertrudis bull. Mainly because I have an uncle who has raised Gerts forever and he would probably allow me to use his bull for free! Again...

I'm just wanting to know if there's anywhere on the net that has a 'live chat' for us cattle folks?

LazyM, What do you think about breeding Santa Gertrudis cows with an Angus bull??

I'm looking at three different options on what breed to start with on my herd. I'm just starting out and I've researched all the characteristics of many types of cattle and these are the three that I came up with; just having trouble deciding on one to start with. Would like to know what all...

Thanks for your input. I'm looking at three possible breeds as options right now. I'm trying to decide between Santa Gertrudis, Red Angus, and Brangus. What you think?

I would like to know what you guys think; this is what I'm looking at: Is there more profit to stick with crossbred beef cattle on open land, normal feeding routine of hay, cubes, etc... selling off calves as their weaned. Or setting up an operation where I bring in a couple of momma cows and...

Australian Cattleman, The land here in Texas is very fertile in most places. I haven't purchased my land yet; still making a decision on how much and all that. I will be living close to where I will have the cattle; so I will have plenty of time.

I am wanting to raise beef cattle; and I'm looking for all the suggestions and help I can get. I know a few things about cattle ( I was raised on a dairy farm ); but need lots of help with the management part of it. And have lots of questions on different techniques, feeds, breed of cattle and...
