[QUOTE="slim, post: 513670, member: 5108"] Well now is the time to get into the cow/calf business in my opinion as bred cows are cheap at most sales. A Hereford/Angus cow is an excellent choice provided you can find smaller framed, easy doing cows as there are alot of poor doing cattle in those breeds. Look for ranch cows that haven't been babied there entire lives and are bred right. I would stay away from the other breeds mentioned for your cowherd and maybe consider them for your terminal cross although I think with the high cost of feed you also would want a easy doing steer to feed as well. I wouldn't look at any high milk production breeds as you are retaining ownership and also want easy doing cows. A couple of websites for info.would be: [url=http://www.PharoCattle.com]http://www.PharoCattle.com[/url] (Low input Angus,Hereford from Colorado) [url=http://www.Beefbooster.com]http://www.Beefbooster.com[/url] (4 maternal , 1 terminal strain of cattle from Alberta) [url=http://www.Spriritviewranch.com]http://www.Spriritviewranch.com[/url] (low input Angus from Alberta) There are lots of other breeders out there that would also have what you are looking for, my advice would be to stay away from show cattle and good luck with your future plans.
