[QUOTE="mnmtranching, post: 238902, member: 3937"] Kyandy, Well I don't think running a cow/calf operation is as tough as some think. You got the land, water and a good perimeter fence right? I would start with a few good cows. Don't get some scubs that someone else wants to get rid of. Even using good bulls on them will take a few generations to get rid of the crap. All this time you will be selling calves at the low end of the price range. I like Angus, Charolais, and Herefords. I advised a neighbor and my brother on this and both are very happy with the results. Up here good bred Hereford cows sell for about 200$ per head less then the same quality Angus or Charolais. Herefords are as good a cow as any better then most. Use a Black Angus or Charolais bull on your Hereford cows and you will top the market with your calves everytime. And you won't believe how fast they grow. Good Luck! mnmt [/QUOTE]
