[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1539111, member: 968"] You have to go out every day and take care of your cattle, be sure to pick something you will enjoy looking at. To me, I don't care if they are black, red, or purple polka dotted - just as long as they are GOOD. If you chose Simmental, you can have both worlds - reds and/or blacks - with or without white chrome. You can breed all your cows to a PB Simmental bull and have 1/2 blood offspring right away. I would NOT buy heifers. I would buy a bred COW. (and this is coming from someone that makes her living off of selling weaned heifers!!! - they are my money makers. But, I still have the factory.) When I buy new genetics, I buy a bred cow. She is experienced. She is already "what she is". Not, with a heifer. Maybe she will be great when she "grows up" or ----- maybe NOT. Buy something PROVEN. You can add 1 or 2 cows each year and have your own herd producing replacement heifers. Embryos are also another way to get into a breed quickly. [/QUOTE]
