I was on this board a year and a half or so ago, reading and asking questions... cattle prices were high, and i got married and built a house in the mean time..
So now im looking back into it... prices seem lower now. So thats better for me.
I have 200 acres, lots of grass, all grown up. We burnt off about 60 acres in february, its all coming back thick and green. Plenty water year around on site, corral, chute, all good to go.
I gotta buy a small cattle trailer still...
But ive been keeping an eye out for black angus/brangus triples, (bred cow, calf pair). That seems like a decent place to start out getting cattle. Grow the calves out, sell them, end up with cheaper cows bought when its said and done.
Then AI the cows after that rather then having a bull. For only having 3 to 10 cows, AI seems cheaper and less hassle than having a bull...
Yalls thoughts on my plans here?
