[QUOTE="SimmAngus, post: 103582, member: 393"] Not so long ago a question was posted.... something like - "If You Had It To Do Over Again What Would You Do Different". As I recall most said they would buy fewer, but better cows to start with. I think this speaks volumes, the quality of the critters you select is far more important than the quanity. I also agree to the idea of looking to some of your local breeders, don't use the sale barn at this juncture in your cattle business. When selecting your cows try to get them close in calving dates, it will pay dividens in the future! Try to find a breeder who will sell you F1 females, like Baldies or Simmental-Angus (MY FAVORITE;)) Use high quality bull semen to enhance or improve your cow herd and retain the heifers to build your future herd........IMHO [/QUOTE]
