Howdy members from Cattle Today.
I have recently lost my father who was raising cattle on several different lease pastures which is roughly 200+ acres. My brother and I have decided to carry on his legacy and continue this operation. From my estimates he had about 75* momma cows and this spring has brought about 20+ calves thus far. Some Charolais, some Brahman and Angus and some in between. I also noticed a handful of some f1 tiger striped as well. I am not sure exactly where he was going with this operation He has an Angus Bull and a Hereford Bull which are both registered. My question for you guys is what direction should I continue this cow calf operation? This is just a part time gig for me and my brother. I am currently a student at Texas A&M and he works full time in Austin, Tx. I have been able to make to the different pastures to dump out 20% cubes a couple times a week and they seem to have plenty of grass. I noticed my father had some invoices from a custom feed supply store where he bought a 40 bags(ton) of a special blend of feed. Although the main pasture we have fed some hay the past couple weeks. With all this rain I doubt we will have to pull out any more bales. Feel free to drop some wisdom to a young novice in the cattle world.
