Do you do strictly market steers? Or do you sell them as,,,how to put it..."lawn ornaments"? My mom has always wanted one as a lawn ornament :P Do they do well enough that you can run a small herd and make enough profit? Thanks for the advice!

I know what you mean about not being able to afford steak, tho' down here it is usually because we have to spend it all on the A/C! :P

Congrats on your marriage! I hope God Blesses you with a long and happy one! (now, from what my mother says, you can FEEL like killing them at times, as long as you DON'T go through with it....)

At my parent's place, we have 4 big black dogs that scare pretty much everything away, so coyotes haven't been a problem for us since we got them. Of course, the pack of wolves that my nieghbor has helps that too, just the thought of them getting out terrifies me now...I've seen what they have...

Thanks, I'll look them up. I did have a Boer at one time, and they are really great producers, the only thing is they are grand escapologists! Had to have our Rosie put down because she broke her leg jumping fences and then got a bone infection.
