[QUOTE="chippie, post: 936745, member: 5644"] Are you looking into getting into registered cattle or commercial? How old are your sons? What breeds do they like? For a 4-H project, I would suggest talking to your County Extension 4-H or Agricultural agent. Mississippi Extension has a good website: [url=http://msucares.com/4h_Youth/4hindex.html]http://msucares.com/4h_Youth/4hindex.html[/url] You might find this publication (MS Beef Cattle Producer Pocket Guide) helpful: [url=http://msucares.com/pubs/publications/p2714.pdf]http://msucares.com/pubs/publications/p2714.pdf[/url] I don't know how deep your pockets are and to be honest, buying one bull for two cows (heifers) is an expensive way to go. You can buy two top quality registered heifers in the breed of your choice and have them bred AI to a top quality bull. A better proven bull than you may be able to afford to buy. Good luck and have fun with your sons starting your herd. [/QUOTE]
