I have not posted anything in a long time but I need the help of the forum. I am planning on moving to Mexico with my dad and help him out with the family ranch. We started raising cattle about 5 years ago and started with commercial cattle. We have been increasing our herd slowly thru the years and we are up to 70 cows. We made the mistake to use Charolais bulls and keeping some of the heifers for replacements. Since then I have added an Angus bull with the plan to better my herds maternal ability. The conditions in our ranch are dry most of the year with limited feed. We have green pasture 3.5 months out of the year with the rest being dry pasture. I am debating with adding more Angus, Beefmaster or Braunvieh to my herd. I want my end result to be a good maternal herd and then I am able to use whatever terminal sire that I wish.
The climate is between 35 degrees to 90 tops. We have a big problem with blood sucking ticks and parasites.
Thanks for any advice.
