[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1503269, member: 20599"] Well, the hubs "bought" me a reg. Angus as a Christmas present about 10 years ago. Which was a strange present, as we were living in Chicago! His family had a small herd and "mine" was absorbed into theirs as a practical matter. We moved near them 7 years ago, to the, well, boondocks, and brought the cow and a friend over here. Got fences ready (still a work in progress with our bedrock an inch below the surface in places); got a squeeze/headgate; Bred to neighbor's bull the first year, then began to AI. Picked up a few more calves along the way. The most we've had is about 25 but we sold quite a few last year and are now going to try to stay a bit lower. Our feed costs are just too high in winter.
