[QUOTE="greenwillowherefords, post: 56820, member: 587"] I'm in your general area as well. I don't want to start a firestorm here, but the breed and size of cattle that you buy will also affect how many acres it takes per cow, by as much as 30%. IMO, select cows with a mature weight of around 1200 pounds. Herefords, black or red Angus should at least have some influence. Year after year, a black-baldie is going to be at or near the top of the market at the Tulsa Stockyards if you are going to raise commercial cattle. The easiest way to achieve that is to put a Hereford bull on Angus cows, or an Angus bull on Hereford cows. If you want to raise purebred registered stock, expect to spend more money, but have a more predictable selling price. [/QUOTE]
