I have grown up on a small family cattle farm in central Kentucky, I am currently in college and looking to begin my own herd. My ultimate goal is to have a large registered angus herd one day, but I am unsure on the best way to get there. Would it be better to start with commercial cattle and get a little money flow and slowly mixing in registered cows; or start with registered cattle from the start. Land for pasture and feed are not a problem, but start up money for buying cattle is tight at the moment, what would be the best option for me to take?
Also what is your preference when buying cattle, do you'll prefer to buy cow/calf pairs, open heifers, bred heifers, or bred cows?
Any other advise or tips you may have for me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the help.
