[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 508066, member: 13"] There is no single standard for registered Angus cows. There are disqualifers, like white in certain places, but the Angus breed is genetically very deep and wide. You can find tall ones, short ones, fat ones, skinny ones, gentle ones, mean ones.....about anything you want within the breed. Before you can register an Angus calf, both parents must be registered and you must be a member of the American Angus Association. As 6M said, get out to some sales this spring. Make notes in your catalog about what sold well and what didn't. Talk to breeders. I would expect that you could find an Angus breeder locally willing to talk to you about Angus cattle. Don't spend more than you can afford. Those $100,000 cows and bulls are few and far between. At $1.25 a pound, it will take a long time for calves to pay for a $10,000 cow. If you expect to be selling registered animals, you [b]must [/b]have a good AI program. Notice at the sales you go to and see if pasture bred cows don't sell considerably cheaper than cattle AI-ed to an established, well known bull. They do in my area. Ambush and Bando, are well known in the breed. But not all animals carrying that name are valuable. Good luck.... [/QUOTE]
