[QUOTE="JMER1533, post: 1569296, member: 38068"] I can't speak from much experience yet but I agree with my fellow Tennessean in quality over quantity. Also embryos are a good idea once you've identified the specifics of what you want with an eye to marketing. I'm starting a registered Red Angus and South Poll herd focused on low-input grass fed with very strong culling on easy fleshing on low-input, fertility and disposition. I bought a great bull from Redhill and now I'm scouring everywhere east of the MS to find female genetics, phenotype and culling programs similar to mine. I find one here and there, rarely more than 1 or 2 from the same place or same sale. Just takes a LOT of research and commitment to the level of detail you need in terms of the type of program you'll run and who you'll market to. Talk to breeders who run the same type of operation you run and get tips, cow families, etc that would work for you. Lots of advice but not backed up with years of experience yet.. just letting you know what I've done. [/QUOTE]
