[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 204135, member: 2653"] Cruiseil, Welcome to the boards! Come on guys/gals, read the first post: 15 to 20 to start for the inexperienced! What would be more appropraite than Angus (red or black) and or hereford? Just the most three widely accepted breeds in the U.S. Herefords would get the bonus points for being more docile. Cruiseil, you need to check out you local markets to see what's "hot", but getting into trends can also be dangerous. If your just starting out I'd recommend one of the breeds above until you get your feet wet and feel more confident in your cattle management skills. Tuli? Andy, do you really think that southern Illinois has the extreme heat and humidity needed for tuli? They still haven't become widely accepted down here, and I know we have summers much worse than Illinios. No one has been able to kick the brahman influence out yet. Lakading, what's up with all of those breeds? Do you really think it's prudent for a newbie to start out with limo's or Chianina? When someone asks a question like this, I feel a sense of responsibility to be as un-biased as possible. I do not have any full blood angus or herefords, by the way. [/QUOTE]
