[QUOTE="Deepsouth, post: 1238176, member: 17608"] Sniper, none of your questions have been dumb. As a matter of fact they're very good questions. Especially this one. I don't know the answer to your question myself but I'm sure someone a lot smarter than me will come along and answer it. I will say this the best way to start seems to be different for different people. It all depends on available finances, how much pasture you have, your experience and on and on. Lots of variables to consider. I bought bred heifers. Heifers is a risk and I did lose one calf out of that crop. But I bought nice cows and I'm building a good herd from that base. I kneq the heifers were a risk but I see older cows as a risk also after all their forsale for some reason and unless it's someone getting out of the cattle business it usually means there is something wrong. Most folks don't sale solid cows they cull for a reason. That reason may be a minor issue and not bother most folks though. I'll probably get hammered for this post but It's my opinion and my philosophy. Wishing you the best with whatever you decide to do. [/QUOTE]
