[QUOTE="justlearning, post: 288671, member: 5044"] I'm on 80 acres in central Minnesota. I've raised a few calves previously but more for my freezer than anything else. I want to start a small herd of beef cows. I'm thinking my farm can handle 15-20 cows. I have the opportunity to buy three shorthorn heifers weighing about 500 lb. each, or 2 registered black Angus bred cows out of a good herd. The shorthorns will cost a buck and a quarter a pound and the Angus cows about $1,200 ea. Question being is there enough value added in the registered animals come market time to make the larger investment worth while? [/QUOTE]
