[QUOTE="wildcatkit52, post: 1168303, member: 18755"] To start with, I have to get from what I have to something. I've looked at several options... The best for me seems to be Beefalo and Pied crosses. Animals that I can sell by the trailer load when I am ready with a load. I like the idea of Beefalo, just not the complete randomness of the beef side in most herds. I will be going to a Pied bull first. Then maybe again pied. After that AI for Beefalo. If I had MONEY money, I'd just start from scratch for straight pied/buffalo blooded Beefalo. Beefalo seems to sell well to those looking for it. Pied also sells well to those marketing it. I'd like to have one copy myostatin Beefalo... (I think of that cross as Piedalo) Sound crazy? People thought my grandfather was years ahead of his time with his graising techniques and choice in breeds. How many Piedmontese are there in the states now? He had the first. Sadly he died of cancer before he should have. My uncle in CO still carries his life membership (#1)to PAUS. My father and uncle both said that back in the sixties he had looked at Beefalo. Didn't last long because of they died off due to the DNA testing issues. I want to be a small operation selling animals in a niche market. Start there and see where it goes. I pretty much have to start small anyway... [/QUOTE]
