[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 732505, member: 637"] If I were just starting out with cattle on my own, I had much rather start small and grow with the calves. Can't make a killing on a cow and a calf. Get your feet wet on the little ones, and not have as much invested. They are easier to handle, and if you have someone that is picking cattle for some of the other cattlemen, he will be able to pick two nice calves. I think you are headed the right direction. Then if you don't enjoy messing with them, you have two small calves that have gained weight, and you can turn a profit on the weight gain. I think you are going to find out that you will enjoy the cattle. That is the first thing (in my criteria) that you need to start out with. If you have any children, then everyone will enjoy the adventure. My avitar is bad with a beetle on cow doo-doo; but pits4life doesn't fit your enthusiasum!!!!! Let us know what is happening!! Sounds like you are getting a lot of really good advice. Chuckie [/QUOTE]
