[QUOTE="jduke, post: 541549, member: 8336"] Hello Everyone, I'm hoping to find some more advise about choosing a breed and getting my cow / calf operation underway. I have about 120 acres of bermuda and wheat NW of Fort Worth, TX. This is fine cattle country and I want some really fine cows. When I say fine, I don't care necessarily about there pedigree directly. I care about there ability to flesh, grow, and grade. It this part of the US it seems that Angus cattle set the benchmark and are desired by our stockers / feeders. Here is what I'm thinking. Purchase bred / open heifers of know origin. These heifers would be an F1. Angus and X breed?. Maybe Maine Anjoe? Maybe a Angus Hybrid? I can then breed those to various purbred bulls to find what I and my customers like in a feeder calf and what grades well. In this scenario, I woudl need to go back and purchase replacement F1's from a grower. Right? I don't necessarily like the idea of this, but I guess it doesn't matter as long as I'm selling calves. Ok, shoot holes in this! I probably should be raising goats, right? :D [/QUOTE]
