[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1611041, member: 968"] First - don't believe everything you read/hear. "smaller cattle" take just as much time & effort as larger cattle. Universities here in US were pushing 'small frame cows" for a long time, then the more they experienced and researched, turns out small did not make the most money. All depends on your resources (location). No one can answer your question. I would advise you to visit other successful farms in the area you would like to buy. Offer to help them at workup time - pick their brain. Of course, I myself would never want a newbie here when we were working cattle. That's the best way to screw up everything!!! LOL Remember, if you talk to a Miniature Hereford operation, they will tell you how great they are. If you talk to a Fullblood Simmental breeder, they also will tell you how great they are!!!! Go into discussions with eyes wide open! Edit: I am a Purebred Simmental breeder of almost 50 years, so I would be more than happy to tell you how great they are. :D :D [/QUOTE]
