[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 918378, member: 7645"] I am missing something here, because I thought he said that he wanted to start a "commercial" cattle herd. If you want to be selling commercial cattle, and black Angus is the dominant breed in northern illinois and we don't have a lot of money, time, or numbers.......then I would buy black Angus for at least half of my genetics. Don't rock the boat and sell something that is uncommon in your local sale barn unless you are just stubborn and like boat rocking just because. Now I don't like straightbred comercial cattle of any breed so I am recommending crossing something to the Angus. Hereford would be my stock answer for breed 2 though Gelbvieh, Simmental, Limousin, Charolais, Braunvieh, etc would work well too. If you are new to commercial cattle....don't plan on jumping into the bull selling market. The cattle industry as a whole would be better off if everybody had 10 or 20 years of commercial cow experience before they started breeding seedstock. [/QUOTE]
