[QUOTE="SPRINGER FARMS MURRAY GRE, post: 214343, member: 95"] Seriously, before you decide on a breed do your homework,talk to people, do a google search on the different breeds,cattletoday has a lot of good info on the different breeds, look at several different breeds before you make up your mind (that is what I did).See what sells in your area. Have your facilities in place (good fences,corral,squeeze chute with headgate, water supply, determine how many cattle you can stock on your available grass,etc before you get your first cow. Your county agent will be a big help in this area. How many head you want to run will be a factor in what kind of cattle you need to go with. You can make more money with registered rather than commercial if you just have a few cattle. Decide whether you want to go with a bull or A.I. If you plan on doing the majority of work yourself, you had better choose a breed that is known for its docility. Also, having the proper working facilities will make the job easier. Put as much money as you can in your facilities and equipment,it will save you headaches in the future.Probably one of the most important considerations, is choose a breed that you can love....this will make the work of taking care of them much easier, and believe me....it is a lot of work! ;-) :) :cboy: [/QUOTE]
