[QUOTE="Kathie in Thorp, post: 1038350, member: 16769"] Inyati13, when we made the decision to get into some cattle a few years back, I did some research on several breeds -- black is boring; most everybody has black! Looked at Shorthorn, Red Devon, Red Poll and British White. We went with the British Whites because they have good dispositions, they are good beef, and if I have to feed em, they ought to be pretty to look at! Most frustrating is that there are no others near here raising them (which would have been true with the other breeds we thought about), so I have to travel to buy a cow now and then, and AI is the way we go for breeding. Yeah, getting things set up right is all time and material! We are fortunate in that we have a big barn here, with grooved concrete floor; we've set up some pens in there that we can use for calving if need to keep a close eye on a cow or a pair for a couple days. By winter, I'm hoping that we have one end of that barn set up for feeding under cover, instead of out in the snow and the mud. [/QUOTE]
