[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 34794, member: 57"] Buy 3n1s, pairs or at least pregnant cows. preferably something 4 or 5 years old to prevent calving problems, plus young cows and heifers have a greater energy requirement b/c they are still growing and trying to raise a calf. they should be able to produce ATLEAST until they are 10. breed will depend on your location and in my opinion should take into consideration your own preference. i think it would be wise to wait until prices go down, although with prices as high as they are there are probably a lot of average-good cows for sale on the market that normally would not be. you cant really go wrong with commercial cattle but if you have the time to commit to it, purebred wouldnt be a bad idea if you have a market for whatever you choose to raise. i would buy private treaty or if you have a reputable sale barn you could attend some breeder cattle sales and see if they have anything that catches your eye.
