[QUOTE="High Cotton, post: 790812, member: 14928"] My ultimate goal is about 300 head and to own the land. I would like to start with about 50 head. I haven't really beat the bushes to hard for foundation stock yet. If things work out like what I'm hoping its gonna be next fall before I bring cows in. I've found a few places I'm interested and hopefully I will be able to talk to the land owners this week. I have heard it both ways get cows in the spring get them in the fall. What's ya'lls opinion? My thinking behind getting them in the fall. It would give me all summer to get my pastures where I want them. Right now I'm doing my research and getting my ducks in a row so to speak. My dad farmed in the 70's and early 80's. He sold out before I was really old enough to remember. Several dry years and losing his hay ground in the middle of the summer put him out. Growing up he was always helping neighbors and or friends and naturally I was his shadow. As I got older I would work for an older man but he just had a small hobby heard. I'm not completely lost but not by anymeans know everything. This is my chance to go out on my own and do it for my self. I had considered brangus. My only real draw back is there doesn't seem to be as many available in my area. My dad ran Brangus bulls with Hereford cows. He told me the same thing as you Oscar. Thanks for the warm welcome.
