[QUOTE="rocfarm, post: 1762905, member: 42715"] I’ve never seen any Tuli or Mashona that held a good market value in Texas. Seems to be a higher-risk bet that also requires the producer to do special marketing that he/she may or may not get paid for. Even the Pharo Cattle Co in Texas tends to breed the Mashona back to red angus and market them as grass-fed genetics, which is still a niche market. When recession hits, that market might suffer more… Wouldn‘t recommend them in Virginia anyway. Climate is not right for that type of cattle IMO. I‘m still convinced that keeping equipment, operational, and cattle costs low is the way to start out. Less likely to face huge expense setbacks. Now focused on managing through the rest of this nasty drought and getting some calves on the ground next fall. Will keep praying for rain. Blessings on all ya’ll cattle folks out there, whatever your operational model. [/QUOTE]
