[QUOTE="Clodhopper, post: 1414859, member: 24993"] With a nod to the SimAngus and Brahman threads, I have been doing a lot of thinking and research on the way I want to take my cattle operation. First, I need to produce what sells in my area. Right now, that is Red Angus or Black Baldy calves. Second, I need to produce a quality product- uniform, growthy calves that grade well. Third, I need to produce that product as efficiently as possible- sound cows that take care of themselves and baby with low inputs (grass or hay, quality mineral). Obviously, these are not groundbreaking revelations, but it seems many people stumble around, hoping to find something that will stick. I am as guilty as the next guy when it comes to this. However, I like the idea of making the long range plan and sticking with it. I just don't want to make the wrong plan, of course. As True Grit said in another thread, when you look around you see just how small you are (or maybe your world is). For all the playground bickering, CT has helped me, along with many others, to see outside my little corner of the world. What is you all's opinion of making a quality herd of crossbred cattle, focusing using two linebred herds to produce replacements and market animals? I've been contemplating Victor Domino Herefords and Wye Angus. I would use one or the other on my existing herd (Angus, Herf, Sim cows) then go from there, alternating back and forth. Am I too mixed up to start with, or is what I'm thinking sound viable? [/QUOTE]
