[QUOTE="oakrunfarm, post: 652817, member: 10984"] Thanks so much, everyone, for the input. I had a friend tell me weaned heifers were not such a good choice. I am assuming it is for the same kinds of reasons you would not want someone new to horses to get young ones for their first venture into it? Bez, I will search for your posts. I was not sure what topic(s) I should search under when I first posted. I have looked at a lot of posts and it has already been a LOT of helpful info. (I am one of those people who researches everything to death. I don't want any more unwelcome surprises than necessary!) We do have our vet lined up, and he's also an AI specialist. That works well since we don't plan to ever have a bull. So, right now I am leaning toward two 3 in 1's. The only thing that worries me about that is that there is my planned 6 cattle limit right off the bat! I don't like the idea of open cows with calves at side because I worry they could be culls that aborted or did not settle, and then I have to worry about getting them bred, and I don't want to do that first thing. Decisions decisions. :???: [/QUOTE]
