[QUOTE="Jessica06, post: 1288012, member: 5612"] I absolutely agree with not starting out with heifers. We did, 80+ of them, and had 25% bred after the first breeding season. And I have a degree in this stuff! There were a lot of other factors that played into that outcome, but we knew better. We like to call that day "Rock Bottom." That being said, registered breeders are a good place to look for bred cows. A lot of cows get culled for things that have no impact on her raising a calf, and a lot of those guys get them almost too gentle. And you know that those cows have been taken care of. Cattlerange.com is also really good. The people that sell on there are legit, and if nothing else you can get an idea on where the market is for the kind of cows you want to buy. [/QUOTE]
