I am almost finished getting my farm set up for rotational grazing and would like some input on best breeds as well as opinions on my plans.
My ultimate goal is to direct market grass-fed beef. However, it will some time to realize a cash flow from that part of the operation. In the interim, what would be a good plan for generating a cash flow? Yearlings? Calves?
In my part of the country, 20 miles southeast of Ada, Black Angus seems to rule. I assume that any short term plans should use a black animal. However, I would prefer a red breed for my long term grass-fed plans.
All ideas, opinions, suggestions are appreciated. I am posting this in the "Beginners" as well as "Breeds" forums.
