[QUOTE="PennBranch, post: 547941, member: 8384"] Dallas area gets about 40 inches of rain a year. You are blessed with many grasses to choose from a good place to start is here..[url=http://forages.tamu.edu/]http://forages.tamu.edu/[/url] Almost any cattle will do well with good pasture. I know people will disagree but I wouldn't choose Herfords you are still bit hot, I would go for a darker pigmented breed. Angus have the market cornered with good marketing and consumer confidence. They also seem to have the best selection (at least in terms of sheer volume) of AI sires. If you went that way you could have a registered herd where you run a terminal bull and AI for replacement. Just my 2 cents. But take anything I say with a grain of salt. While I come from a Ranch family...I am not a rancher. I have a few hundred acres in Texas waiting for me to retire so I can go broke slowly. I long for the days when I will be faced with issues like yours. [/QUOTE]
