[QUOTE="Rydero, post: 1675981, member: 38101"] It doesn't have to be so complicated. There's no reason for it to take until my kids take over (what a waste to build it for them and they decide to go another way). I can skip to the end, buy the cows/heifers and done. I've spent a fair amount of time at the stockyards watching cattle sell and I've yet to come across a group of calves or a herd of cattle that's so superior in any measurable way to what I can easily buy that it would be worth dedicating a llifetime to creating. What's the end goals for performance of a legacy herd like that? Simply put what's the conception rate, weaning rate, feed efficiency, average weaning weight, average longevity etc. of the greatest herd ever assembled so I can measure where I am vs where I can reasonably expect to go?
