Hi All. I've been reading through threads on this site for months and just joined up today. I am looking to start an Black Angus herd from scratch so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I was lucky enough to grow up on a cow farm. But once my grandfather and then my father passed we got out of the cow business (with the exception of a few hobby cows) and have only focusing our efforts on hay and horse boarding.
Our farm is setup perfectly for cattle. Great fencing is in place, nice pastures, and a fully functional cow barn. I hate to see the infrastructure that my grandfather and father worked so hard to build go to waste.
My plan is to buy 5 - 10 bred heifers to get started. Any input on the selection process for the bred heifers or any recommendations of farms/ranches that I should consider would be greatly appreciated.
