[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 218305, member: 2653"] Welcome Cajun Lady, Always good to have more people on from Louisiana. If your a real cajun lady, which I'm sure you are, you are probably from south Louisiana. In south La., there are only a handful of stockyards that sell cattle. I'm assuming that you would be running a cow/calf operation. If so, take some time and sit and watch on of your closest auctions. You will see that black calves almost always bring more money per pound. Having said that, I would recommend a cow breed with some brahman influence (brangus, braford, simbrah, beefmaster), and cross with a bull to produce black calves. Example brangus could be crossed with hereford bulls; braford, simbrah, and beefmaster could be crossed with angus bulls. All of the above combinations would produce calves that would grow well, and be in demand (bring higher prices) at auction time. [/QUOTE]
