[QUOTE="showmomof2, post: 410886, member: 6546"] The limis belong to the grownups in this family and if we had our way, that's how we would focus. We have wanted to try some limi heifers for years, we got the opportunity and jumped. My kids got their agri loans this spring. My son has talked about herefords for quite a while now. We have a friend that raises them so he got a decent deal on a few. His oldest one is a bred heifer and he's already had a neighbor show some interest in her calf if it's a bull. He is also talking about learning to AI. He will be 13 this week and I worry about the things he could get into, so if we foster his interest in these cattle we can't go wrong. Could we have a vet in our future with him? We would like for him to show one of our limis, but his first words when he saw them were"they are ugly". My daughter started out looking for the shorthorn and in my quest for one, I found her maine heifer. If you know 10 yr old girls you'll understand "love at first sight!" She had a bad experience with her baldie heifer last year and we needed something she could handle. This one is broke and has done alot to build her confidence up. She couldn't let her brother have all the fun with the herefords, so she bought the one he didn't. Also, in my quest for a shorthorn, we found this nice heifer about an hour from our place, went and looked at her and bought her. We are hoping to raise a few club calves to make their payments, so we will have a variety. We may not be making the best decisions, but time will tell. We let the kids make their decisions with our guidence and this is what we came up with.
