I currently have 6 Angus crossed cows. I only have room for total of about 40 head and was working toward a herd of that size.
After giving it some thought I am starting to lean more in the direction of a Purebred Angus herd. My reasoning is it appears I can feed and take care of half as many cows and make the same money. For the most part it looks like registered Angus sales for sometimes twice as much as cross bred cattle. Is this true? My thinking is I can breed, feed and maintain 20 head of cows and come close to making the same profit I could with 40 crossed cows. All the time also saving on feed, hay and other expenses.
Thanks for your input.
