[QUOTE="Jelps, post: 918097, member: 18453"] IluvaBbeef - We would like it to be a cow-calf herd, I would like for my cattle to - Handle both the hot and cold climate as it can go to each extreme occasionally - Be very efficient at converting forages of medium quality - Docility, being as a come from raising show cattle I would like to still be able to be close with my animals - Have good mothering and milking ability, I will be going to college so taking care of calves after birth would be up to family and I would like to have that to as unstressful as possible - Carcass qualities do not have to be at the highest standard I hope that got my points across clearly. Right now we would aiming to sell (our steers) to local kids for 4H show projects, but the breed doesn't need to be show oriented, and keeping any heifers back to build up our herd. UG - I hope some of that answered some of your questions. I agree with your corn and beans statement, but as I said above right now we'd be retaining heifers and selling steers for 4H, so selling our stock would not come in to play for many years. I would not like to get real big into the show cattle deal, the top guys in the business that make so much money also put in so much time and effort that I don't think I or my family would like to put in on top of our other seed business. Excuse any lack of knowledge I might have, as I said we are just getting started and I know we have much learning to do. I appreciate the comments thus far. [/QUOTE]
