[QUOTE="snake67, post: 990953, member: 17764"] Why registered? It is not indicative of quality - in fact now-a-days it more often means less quality in my opinion. Bloodlines - schmudlines. You REALLY think a registered angus is the way to go for a start up? Suggest you widen your horizons. From what I saw I would run some Herfords and sell baldies - you might do better than you think - and a good horned herf will do you just fine (as long as the word "horn" does not drive you off like a squealing girl as it does to many here LOL) Cheap Horned Herfs on a decent black bull - does not have to be angus - there is Maine and a few others as well. In fact that will likely give you an easier handling animal than the animal raised as angus - which is starting to go down hill in the opinion of many - myself included. In fact there is a discussion on ranchers concerning this very issue. Just a thought - because I always get a bit nervous when someone tells me they want to start and they want to buy registered - which means more money and probably not anything better standing on the ground once the cash is gone. You fall into that trap as a startup and you make someone some money and you delay your potential to make any yourself. As for the easy fleshing, breeding back stuff - what in the heck do you think everyone else is looking for? So to me they are empty words - stop spouting them - it does not make you look smarter or better - you best be looking further afield my friend. And that means spending money - money you probably do not have. Profit is slim - probably less than one percent of the people on these boards actually make money - the rest spend it - big hats, big trucks, big words and small cows. [u]Or buy the family stock [/u]- you know it - it is right there and it can probably be had at a discount. That might just be your best bet if they will not let you run some Herfs for baldies. You start travelling to shows and sales and such you will spend lots of cash and still end up with a few animals in the yard. And those animals will be far more expensive than they should be. Stay at home - put your cash in your pocket and forget the fancy stuff. One final thing. That bull you took pics of. He carries his tail tucked in, his head low and his ears back - I am betting he might have some attitude - watch your azz around him - he is the sneaky type - all is good and when you least expect it he can give you grief. Personally I do not like him at all - but that is just me and we all have opinions. Juat an old fat guys thoughts - but you might be wise to listen to it - I been in this game a long time and I am still in it - sometimes with lots of animals and sometimes with only a few. I make them work for me - not the other way around. Whatever way you go I wish you all the best. Best to all Bez [/QUOTE]
