[QUOTE="t5j1h2, post: 1011476, member: 20504"] Thanks for the information. Being new to the industry I am not looking to have a huge cattle ranch, or quiting my job to raise cattle but I am looking to try and have a little operation that I hopefully enjoy managing, and that will possibly pay its own way with hopes of turning a little bit of profit. As I said in the OP everyone I am sure each individual has their perfect operation in mind. Mine is a pasture of somewhere between 5-10 registered Hereford cows, probably AI with a Brahman bull with hopes of producing some good F1 Tigerstripe heifers. I like the looks of Herefords, but I really like the F1 Tigerstripes. Through research I have done so far it seems that the F1 does really good in my neck of the woods and like I said I think that I would really like to raise them to sell as replacements. I do not feel like I would ever have more than 6-7 of them to sell even with a majority heifer crop. I would rather get to where I had a name of having good replacement heifers and selling them right off the farm, but I realize that does not come over night. Like I stated, I am new to the cattle world but do have alot of interest. Is this a legitimate plan? Is this something that could pay its own way? On average say I could sell 5 heifers a year, is that enough to even matter or would it pretty much be an expensive hobby? Just looking for information. Thanks TJH [/QUOTE]
