[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 235475, member: 1683"] BP - Every one of the four posts above are exactly correct! I agree with Van C regarding taking someone along with you who knows cattle. Not only could they point out specifics that may be important in your buying, but they can help you see the Phenotype (what they LOOK like) AS you look at them and teach both you and your son a little bit about the business. The raising of beef cattle may sound like it is not too complicated, however - to do it CORRECTLY takes knowledge and thought, and you are in a terrific position to bond with your son and BOTH of you have an EXCITING time learning a new phase of working togetherl This experience will stay with your son for the rest of his life, whether he stays in the beef business or not. Here are a few "Links" which I think will really give you a toe-hold on LEARNING: [url=http://wwwbovineengineering.com/femalelhtm]http://wwwbovineengineering.com/femalelhtm[/url] [url=http://www.ricecrc.org/reader/beefbreeding/obj-measure-beef-showring.htm]http://www.ricecrc.org/reader/beefbreed ... owring.htm[/url] [url=http://wwwbovineengineering.com/male.htm]http://wwwbovineengineering.com/male.htm[/url] [url=http://agric.nsw.gov.au/reader/cattle-appraisal/a2335.htm]http://agric.nsw.gov.au/reader/cattle-a ... /a2335.htm[/url] [url=http://wwwbovineengineering.com/quality.htm]http://wwwbovineengineering.com/quality.htm[/url] [url=http://www.ext.nodak.edu/extpubs/ansci/beef/as1169w.htm]http://www.ext.nodak.edu/extpubs/ansci/beef/as1169w.htm[/url] Some of these links may not still be available, but you may do a SEARCH on the internet for all kinds of information and that will lead you to other sites. Also go to the "American Hereford Association" for all kinds of help. There are thousands more similar to these, but this will get you started and 'whet' your appitite for more knowledge! Good luck to you and your son. This is a terrific opportunity that you have. My advice is: Don't drop the ball! DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
