Well my son decided to go with some polled Herefrods wich is just fine with me. We talked with a lady at our local 4-H and she told us she can cut us a deal on some bred cows. Two of them are 4 years old and have had 2 calves and one is 3 years old and has had one calf. The are in the process of being bred back now. They are registered and her asking price for all 3 is $2100.
We will be going out to look at these animals this week so give me some ideas on what to look for. I have seen some pics of them but from the pics all I can tell is they have very straight backs and some healthy looking calves.
The two 4 year old cows took first and second place at the state fair 3 years ago but then I don't know what the compition was or how many was there so.....
So let me know what to look for and if this is a good price to pay. I know its hard to get an idea without seeing them but hit me with some ball park figures. She is selling off some of her herd since her husband past away and she cant maintain as many by herself. Thanks for all the advice I appreciate it.
