[QUOTE="MO_cows, post: 1184802, member: 9169"] I'll put in another vote for a more "mainstream" cattle breed than the Dexters. If you want the convenience of selling at the local auction, you will not like what you get paid for them there. Also they carry some genetic defects so you have to give yourself a short course in genetics and do some DNA testing to avoid those in your breeding. Go to your nearest sale barns a few times, see what breeds are coming thru and what is bringing the best prices. That will help you decide what to raise. But since you're new, don't buy your starter stock there. [/QUOTE]
