[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1850307, member: 40587"] [USER=43666]@K C Farm[/USER] , Brangus is a breed of cattle that was developed from Angus and Brahma stock. It is its own breed...with its own genetics and its own DNA. It is not a Brahma x Angus. Thoroughbreds were developed from crossing Arabians with European warm bloods, but an Arab x Hanoverian is not a TB. . You said you had no experience with cows, so how do you train and condition your reined cow horses without cattle? If you don't feel like you know enough about cattle to buy a couple of calves at a sale barn or from a neighbor, there are several, CT members on here from TN, north Ala, etc., that are weaning calves, and I would buy a calf from them with complete confidence. You [I]can[/I] keep just one cow...like you can just one horse...but like horses, they are herd animals, and do better with companions. Your idea of eating one and selling the other to help recoup the costs is a good one. I don't know much at all about feeding out and butchering cattle My granddaddy raised Angus, and he never fed out a steer or raised a heifer. He sold the calves at weaning, He said he'd rather do that , take the money, and stop by Winn Dixie on the way home from the sale, and buy what T-bones he wanted to eat. Or take the calf money, and the money from selling an old cow, and just buy another young one. And that is what I always do. But there are a lot of people on here that do feed out cattle , and they can tell you better than I can about it. [/QUOTE]
