1st some backround. I have some land in MN it was pasture and crop land before. I am looking at purchasing some steers (Hereford or Angus).
With regards to the two breeds.. What is the average weights at purchase? What should be a good weight when ready for sale?
I see advertising in my local area for cattle sales or auctions. Is this a good place to purchase calves or young steers? And is this the place where they would go to market after they are large?
When purchasing calves or young steers, is there is alot of stress put on the animals to travel long distances? I.E. if I got a good deal down south and hauled them home?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP.. Also sorry if the questions are hard to follow.
