[QUOTE="BrandX, post: 1458170, member: 24860"] so last night i got the opportunity to purchase a herd of corriente cattle. I know that it is probably everyones least favorite thing and is looked down on like being a goat herder, but i am not sure angus cattle are working for us. between low breed back and calving problems. the opportunity i have is 80 head for $36,000 thats about $450 a head. now 17 of the are calves. i see some of you guys promoting undervalued cattle, so is this what i have here? one of the reasons corrients might work for us is that we live one hour form our ranch so we only get to check them once a week so at calving time its best for us to have cattle that calve unassisted in the pasture not in a barn. we only have 110 acres with another 120 we can lease so smaller cattle mean a higher stocking rate. they are good ate eating scrubbier forage since our new ranch is been neglected for a while( no knee high stands of fescue here). so what are your thoughts, ideas, and criticisms.
