[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1703978, member: 40587"] If the average there is 10 acres per cow, then you could do 5 Corrientes per acre. If it is 5 acres per cow, then you could do 2 Corrientes per 5 acres. But, say it is 1 per 10 acers. Try getting just 13 or so Correinetes initially, then you'd know you won't have to buy feed...or very little... that first year. There is no other breed of cow you fool with, that you can wean a $700 calf off of a $300 cow. Or any cow you could pay more for, even 10 times more for, and wean a calf that will bring twice the mother's cost in 15 months ( 9 months gestation and 6 mos til weaning. Especially with little to no additional input costs. And, that will give you twice the initial cost of the cow every 12 months in the 2nd and consecutive years. Even the pigeons like Fence Boy can't truthfully argue against that. [/QUOTE]
