[QUOTE="Dave, post: 39309, member: 498"] It sounds like you have a good plan to get started. If you don't quit the day job and keep your costs down you will be suprised how fast your herd will grow. Every winter I buy bred cows for less than what I sold calves for in the fall. This last winter and spring with cow prices as high as they are I bought 15 cows (they all have calves now) and I am only in to them $520 a piece. Be patient and you don't have to buy the fanciest cow at the sale. Those middle of the road bred cows in the winter when others aren't wanting to buy cows will generally work real well. I almost always sell all my heifers in the fall because I can generally buy bred cows for the same money if I am patient. Good luck. Learn as you go and enjoy the time you get to spend with it.
