[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1235482, member: 17956"] Just some advice---------A steer is a terminal project of course. To be competitive you'll need to put some cash into purchasing the animal, plus a ton of feed. A heifer project, you can go with a commercial heifer. Let it run on grass, and cut your feed bill way down. Plus the heifer, you keep it when it's done. Might be a nice way to start a herd. If you went the registered route, your getting in to big money purchases again. Which would be fine, if you wanted to raise registered cattle. With a heifer, you can go as small or as young as you like. Kinda match the kid with something he can handle. Not so much with a steer. Plus you may have a crossbred heifer that is flashy enough to work. If not, they are plentiful. [/QUOTE]
