[QUOTE="TLCfromARK, post: 56545, member: 198"] Had an old timer tell me years ago that IF your land, cattle & equiptment was paid for you needed at least 100 momma cows to make a living. 50 calves ( ~ 1 a week ) to sell for farm operating expenses and another 50 for family living expenses. If you're having to pay for your land / cows / equip. then you'd need many more cows. It almost becomes a catch 22, you need more land to run your cows on, then you need more cows to pay for the land, and so it goes. As for as breed of cattle, we've all got own own thoughts as is what's best. I like something thats got some Brahma in it, Braford, Brangus, Simbrah, etc. The one thing I would stress is to buy the best bull that you can afford. One poor cow = 1 bad calf, a poor bull means a bad calf crop. IMHO Good luck ;-) [/QUOTE]
