[QUOTE="Angus Cowman, post: 607021, member: 8829"] welcome Josh Finding land that will do it all will be expensive I and a few others on here live in Missouri and it is the 2nd largest cattle producing state in the U.S. Land in Mo is probably priced as reasonably as anywhere else, most of the land in the southern half of the state is good for raising cattle and hay but not so much for crops other than some wheat or rye for grazing and or baling. the Northern half and a small part of the southeastern corner is good for crops but the crop land is 2-3 times more expensive than the grazing land. On to the cows if you are just wanting to run a commercial herd the Angus/hereford cross for momma cows is a good one then you can use a different breed of bulls like Limousin,or some others for calves that would wean a large good grading end product. to run a 100 momma cows in this area you would need at least 400-500 acres and that is with intensive management on pastures and cattle and still be able to produce hay but in most instances it is more economical to buy hay than to raise it yourself . I hope this helped and if you have anymore ? feel free to ask [/QUOTE]
