[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1373878, member: 25884"] I agree with the idea of stockers to get started. Prices are way down for them this fall, you could even get some this winter and have a few rolls of hay in them before you turn them out on grass. Is it cross fenced at all? I also don't think I would start with heifers, find a sale where someone is selling out and buy a half dozen 3-4-5th calf cows that shouldn't be a real problem to calve. Get some income back from the stockers, see which you prefer to deal with, and make a decision the following spring to get a few more cows or more stockers. Dun is exactly right, if you are going to get into the cow/calf business, now is the time to do it with prices being so off. But stockers are way off too so they will give you a return of sorts in 6-8 months. Don't know why we are doing it somedays, except that we just like cows... :bang: :bang: :bang: [/QUOTE]
