[QUOTE="Pnw Farmer, post: 1788149, member: 42548"] That's why I'm here asking those who know, I know very little about cattle in general, let alone getting into the caveats of specific breeds. This is a very knowledgeable forum and as I've gotten older I've learned to ask lots of questions. I've always been fond of the saying "learn from others mistakes, you won't live long enough to make them all yourself." Common knowledge to the old timers on here is what I'm hoping to soak up. We've got summer pasture for 6-7 head without supplementing until mid to late October depending on the first hard frost. I've got 3 animals already, our milk cow's calf from last spring that's an Angus/Jersey cross, my oldest daughter's open class Angus steer and a calf from Sept. that seems to be gaining nicely still on the cow. It'd probably be in that 3-4 range since our kids are carnivores and it'd probably take 2 just for our household and my cousin wants to try filling his freezer and likes the pea fed meat we put up this year. Do corriente cows have large pelvises? A big ol' Charolais calf just sounds like calving nightmare but then again I don't know squat. Lol. [/QUOTE]
