Not to discourage you pal but ask your Daddy or the bank for money..see who is willing to whip out thousands of dollars to buy your Reg. Angus stock... Angus seedstock are too fanatic about their precious black hides and will make your fat wallet to a skinny one in a single shot. Once you get these cattle, it will be tough to get a good reputation since the competition for Reg. Angus are fierce and numerous. If you want to start Reg. cattle, start with a lesser known breed like Charolais (I know lots of ranchers are on the hunt for good bulls and replacement heifers....to crossbreed with their Angus to whatever black breed they got).
If you are starting out....the best investment is to start small and wisely. Buy some commerical cattle....lease or rent about 50 acres to start off and keep your town job for at least a good ten years then start going bigger as you go.. I hate to see you go broke instantly and be discourage from the great world of livestock! Goodluck to you!

He may have the money, possibly be the major stockholder of the bank
or maybe even own the bank, for all we know.
He didn't ask for opinions on what breed to start with or what breed not to buy.
The man stated that he wanted to start with ANGUS.
He never indicated that he needed opinions on what breed to buy or not to buy.
His question was if any one knew about 200-300 acres that he could get to start a Reg. ANGUS HERD on.
