[QUOTE="uscangus, post: 704477, member: 13261"] i wanted to buy young heifers (300-400lbs) about 40-60 at december of 2009 and breed them on december of 2010. i am hoping to calf them on august of 2011 so that they have enough time to graze the pasture and have hay for winter in the barn. my ultimate plan is to sell the steer in may or june where the demands are strong. i am currently looking to acquire black angus, and my friend will lease his bull during november of 2010 @ very low cost or nearly free. this way, i could time them when the cows are calves and sell at my plan. the other option is to buy bred cows but can't pick the quality of cow and age of cows. also, i would not be able time the selling of steer or young heifer. since this is my second year of raising black angus by buying and selling steers, i prefer to purchase in winter and giving them enough time to grow their structures. i have 100 acreages which has four section of pastures, and a barn that could handle 100 cows. our winter is not harsh in lewis county, wa (central or mid-point between seattle and portland, oregon).
