[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 364944, member: 2095"] I really HATE to agree with North Texas Socks BUT 60 acres is way lite even in the Southeast to even be thinking about going fulltime. Buy the property(if the next ten years are like the last ten years it will triple in value), accept that this will be a part time enterprise, and I would go commercial. Buy your generic herd of black or black white face cows and put a good registered bull on them and MAYBE try to learn AI. IF you can handle fence construction/maintenance, pasture management, herd health mgmt, heifer development, estrus synchronization, A.I, etc and can prove to yourselves that you are cattlemen maybe in five years buy two or three first class donor cows and implant their registered embryos on your commercial cows and go registered that way. I think you need to learn more about registered cows (the breed situation where you are located, bloodlines, frame preferences in your market, EPDs, A.I. sires, the show circuit, marketing, etc) before going registered in a big way.
