[QUOTE="cmf1, post: 686095, member: 6681"] Infrastructure and grass is probably the most important thing to consider before you make any stock purchase. Infrastructure; pens, chutes, handling, etc., will make your time and safety more efficient. Grass and fences will make your inputs more efficient. Get to know a local Vet you can be comfortable with. Probably ought to decide if you want to raise "sale barn" cattle, or "private treaty" type cattle. Or a mix. There's a breed out there that can fit just about any goals you want to accomplish. You're not too far ( I think) from a ranch that is raising pure and some x bred Red Devon cattle. Polled and horned. A really good grass efficient, good marbling, "docile" breed. A good Murray Grey breeder in Amarillo. Same kind of breed traits as the devon. But then again you're in Texas and I imagine any breed you're interested in is readily available not too far away. Talk to lots of people and find out which breed traits you want to look at and mess with everyday. Cuz once you have'em you probably will. [/QUOTE]
