[QUOTE="6M Ranch, post: 507904, member: 2324"] If you want to go Angus, find some sales in your area, and observe. Talk to other people and get their opinions. In general, the nicer cattle will bring the most money. Look and see what traits they possess. Read, read, then read some more info on cattle. I disagree that you need to start off with a few commercial cattle. A registered cow costs the same as a commercial cow to feed and raise. Equal quality calves, registered will bring more money. Just don't go out and buy a $10k cow to start your operation. If the cows are similarly priced, I don't see the downside. You can always breed to other bulls later if xbred calves are what your market demands. Here is an interesting article concerning straightbred calves.
