[QUOTE="dun, post: 8061, member: 34"] Depending on your forage base, you need a cow that is small enough and milks adequately to keep enough condition when feeding her calf to breed back. At the same time you need one large enough to calve easily with moderate sized calves but enough milk to raise the calf to it's potential. You also have to determine how you'll market your calves. Retain ownership, sell them at weaning, background them yourself, sell them on a grid with some retained ownership. The also have to be acclimated to your environment. It's not easy to make a "silk purse from a sows ear", but with enough money you can do it. dun [/QUOTE]
