[QUOTE="southoftheriver, post: 306663, member: 5397"] I'm new and pretty green when it comes to cattle somewhat. I grew up on a farm and the only cattle I've been around are Polled Herefords and Crosses of Herefords and Angus, since that is what my grandfather used to raise before selling them all shortly before passing away. I'm teaching and coaching right now but I want to start a small herd on the side, say around 15-20 and was wondering what type of cattle to start with. Should I just buy a few cheap crossbreeds to start out with? I have a friend who will sell me some of his cattle. He has a few herefords and lots of black/white face cattle and some other crossbreeds. What should I choose? I ultimately want to end up in a few years with a majority of Polled Herefords and some black/white face crosses. Partly sentimental, partly because I just like the looks of herefords. Can anyone tell me the advantages/disadvantages of Herefords? Any info is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
