[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 13985"] I gotta ask, Heidi, why Highland cattle? Are you planning on marketing the calves as "meat" and processing and selling it yourselves to a niche market? Or are you thinking of a registered herd and showing and selling to other registered breeders? No problem with either if you can establish that market, but on the regular sales market, you'll have a challenge marketing the Highlanders. If you got in a situation where you just had a group of steers you wanted to take to the sale barn to raise a little cash, you'll get killed pricewise. I think those are considerations for you when thinking of a small cattle operation. If you want marketability and minimum costs, think black hides and easy fleshing, moderate sized, familiar cattle.
