[QUOTE="coachg, post: 1778175, member: 22053"] What type, color , cattle bring the best prices at your local sales ? Being in the southeast but not too far south your best bet is black angus . If your cows are mixed I’d start with a good bull . He doesn’t have to be registered but he definitely needs to be purebred. I figure you are grazing fescue mostly . We have some reclaimed strip mine land around us and that’s what’s mostly planted . It’s not the best for growing cattle but you’ve got to go with the hand you are dealt . Keep your best heifers and gradually improve your herd . If it’s cost effective AI is the quickest way to get the best genetics . If not you may need 2 bulls . One to raise heifers out of and one to breed them to . May not work for you but this is how my son and I got started . We were able to start with 25 good black cows and have kept our best heifers for 5-6 years now . Anyway, good luck and welcome to the forum . A lot of advice on here , good and bad , lol 😂 [/QUOTE]
