I live in New York State. I don't have a great deal of money to spend so I will most likely be getting crossbred calves to start my herd. I need advice on what type of crossbred cattle would work well for my needs. I need cattle with excellent foraging and feed conversion ability, docile temperaments, are good mothers and will produce strong calves (beef or dairy) that will bring a good price at auction regardless of what age I sell them at. I want to sell year old steers, week old and, weaned calves (at least this is what I am planning to do). Any suggestions??? Does anyone know what types of cattle bring the highest dollar amounts in the NY & PA cattle auctions?
I bought a heifer calf that is a mix of 50% Red Holstein, 25% Angus, and 25% Charolais, for $180. She is 4 days old, weights 80 lbs. and, is extremely lively. She wants to eat everything. She has been coliostem feed. She has all 4 udders. She has a white face with a mostly red body with some white on it. Was this a good price?
Thank you...
