[QUOTE="TheLazyM, post: 166578, member: 3117"] pruss06 as i've said on the other thread i go with the mixed bred. i dont know how they breed in texas but i imagion its the same every where. they cross to make a better animal hoping to captilaize on traits from the 2 breeds being crossed. i cant tell you what would be a good cross for texas as i've never been there. as far as how many head to acre that does depend on the land. but i bet that with some work you can raise a head per 2 acres easy. if you buy bred cows and sell everything at weening and buying back it knocks down on how much your land has to previde for.i had to change up 2002 and 2003 cause my land wasnt doing so good on putting on grass i had to lyme and fertilise then resew grass sead. i mean it got bad. them 2 years i bought heavy bred cows in feb. they calved in march and april then sold out in october. i did pretty good. i do better money wise buying cows mid term between nov. and jan. jan is the best farmers grass is gone and they've done gotten way past tired of feeding and dont demand as much plus the cows have a lower bcs but it dont take me long to shape them up.
