[QUOTE="Texas Ranch Man, post: 145452, member: 2753"] KellerAg, I think I can offer you some first hand knowledge on exactly what you plan to do. I have already done the exact same thing you plan to do. 2 years ago I purchased 114 acres near Corsicanna, TX. knowing nothing about cattle. I am there approx 4 days a week, and have learned several important lessons which you can now benefit from: 1. I bought F-1 Tigerstripes "Absolutley no regrets" 2. I bought a Purebred Charlois Bull "Absolutley no regrets" Here is where I WENT WRONG: 1. Always build your Working Pen before you buy Cattle, I would recommend a Squeeze Chute as well since the Tigerstripes require one when they are being worked. 2. Vacinate, Worm, and Ear Tag all Cattle immediatly upon purchase. "This wont be a problem since you will already have a Working Pen." 3. Keep accurate records on individual animals, such as Innoculation and worming dates and dose, Calf birth dates, Calf birth weights if possible. These things will help you better manage and control your operation. I would be happy to show you my place, and tell you where I found the best deals on all of my equipment, as well as who I purchases my Cattle from If you are interested. Good Luck, and enjoy it, I am! [/QUOTE]
