[QUOTE="Bama, post: 106798, member: 1184"] I aint sure where your from so I don't know the carrying capacity for your place so I'll advise as if you were my next door neighbor. You said you have had 5 or so at a time so your ain't exactly new to cattle. First I get commercial cattle then decide if you wanted to go registered. Buy 10 - 3 in ones. You have a idea of what her calf looks like and know she can at least spit one out. Also buy 6 300# steers. Raise them to about 600 and sell them for a little income. Buy 6 300# heifers. Raise these to 600 also and decide if you want to hold any of these over to put with your herd or sell them off. Last buy 1 of the best young bulls you can find. By the time your cows and the retained heifers need breeding he should be ready. By doing all of this you will get a better understanding of the whole operation and will know which way you want to go. [/QUOTE]
