Hey All a newbie here,
I just got some property and have around 4 acres to have some cattle on. Right now I am hoping to have fencing up by the end of next month. First I am wondering if there is a best time to get my cows in should I do it this fall or wait till next year? Also I am debating on what breed to get. First of all these would be beef cows just for my family at this point and if it works out to sell one or a half if the need arises. I have been looking at the longhorn as they say the quality of meat is higher but they have a good bit less hanging weight. It seems around here that the Angus/Longhorn cross is somewhat popular. For those that have raised Longhorns for just family meat what have been your pros & cons?
