[QUOTE="t5j1h2, post: 1287824, member: 20504"] Kingfisher- Around 10 Doc - I read your reply, and reread it. Your post describes really where I am at this point. I am just learning. All I have done is read, read, read about cattle, different operations, nutrition, etc. I stated that I was getting into the cattle [u]business[/u]. That might have been a stretch. I want cattle experience. That is what I'm seeking, with the hope that I enjoy it as a lifestyle, and one that would hopefully make me a few $$ in time. But IF I do this, I want to do it right, not half hearted. I want quality. My wife and I both have good jobs and do not plan on quitting to be cattle ranchers. What we would like is to raise our little girl and maybe her brother or sister one day in an agricultural setting, gradually building a herd of 30-50 mommas while learning, implementing, and producing quality animals. JW- I think " too maternal" is an expression I got from another topic. [url=http://www.cattletoday.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=80382]viewtopic.php?f=5&t=80382[/url]. I have helped work neighbors and friends cows, but I was far from ram rodding the operation. I guess I just read about them being worked the WRONG way, and with my lack of knowledge and experience, I'm afraid I may do it wrong and then have a few big problems I can't do anything with. Ricebelt- I'll look into that Chimney Rock sale. My job sometimes keeps from weekend plans though. What about F1 brangus vs. a registered brangus? One better than the other? Hybrid vigor different? Walnut- I'm all ears. I wouldn't say I'm particularly partial to certain breeds for the most part. I will look into the ones you mentioned. And thanks for the suggestions on buying cattle that have been managed in the same fashion I intend to manage. Birder- Noted for sure. Thanks [/QUOTE]
