[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1719421, member: 40587"] As I answered and asked in one of the previous posts [B][I]"Stay away from heifers , and stockyard bargains." [/I][/B]repeats it self a lot. Why may I ask? Genuinely want to learn before going head in first. Yes fences and grass must be top notch in my opinion. Good advice on not fooling with heifers, because they are more likely to have trouble with their 1st calf, than cows will with their 2nd and subsequent calves. Down here, all commercialo caattle..99% at least, are bought and sold at the weekly sale barns. Sure, people will bring their cull cows...usually sold by weight, but this is where the best of the best are bought and sold, too. Usually by the head. Not too much raising replacement heifers ....they are sold at weaning along with the bull and steer calves. I took after my grandpa., I guess: I'd rather sell 4 heifers and take the money and buy back 3 2nd-calf or better cows. Whenever you do get your piece of land get it fenced. go ahead and build barns, sheds, working pens, etc, and get a trailer and get a tractor, etc., before you buy the first cow. [/QUOTE]
