[QUOTE="BDM, post: 1088389, member: 12941"] When I was first starting out I bought Holstein bull calves and bottle fed them. I graduated from there to 4 Holstein nurse cows and Holstein bull calves. I bred those nurse cows to what ever bull I could borrow/ rent from a neighbor. After a few years (read 5-6) I then graduated up to buying 4 red angus/simmentals cross commercial cows. My thought process was much like the guys on this board. I wanted to get my feet wet so to speak and get some experience before I jumped into the higher dollar cattle. My grandpa was a long time rancher and he helped me with the knowledge part. He was always willing to help answer questions when I had them. He always told me the only dumb question is the one you don't ask or search for an answer on. I didn't have the luxury of this board back then. There is a huge amount of information here and lots of folks willing to answer questions. I guess my point is start where and how you can start and don't ever think you have all the answers... :D [/QUOTE]
