Cattle Question

[Passthrough]

Breed don’t matter( as long as it’s not like longhorn) Throw you a few cows out there with a GOOD bull and your set. The bull is half the product. But I would suggest some sort of Angus/Hereford/Charlaois type cow. Or possibly Brangus

Corriente cows crossed to a mishona bull.

Make sure they are weaned or have very good fences. They will hunt their mommas for a few days.

I’m replacing all my perimeter fences now and building pens. Then throwing cows in the mix.

I'm sure he's wanting to keep his AG exception.

This. And I need some business expenses and cows will certainly fit the bill

I think you can get a 6mos? or 1yr? "off pasture" for pasture "rest/rotation/etc". Heck with the drought you may get more. Check with county

I have started selling grass feed beef this year to my coworkers and friends. We are now selling at farmers markets and online. We have chosen Bradfords, brangus, brahman mix, Charolais, pretty much any polled commercial beef bred and haven't noticed a difference in taste or customer criticism. But any black steer will struggle putting on weight during the summer. It's taste different but most of my customers are looking for that taste. Like someone above said it's would be better to raise steers instead of a cow/calf operation. And I would buy from a neighbor before going to an auction barn. Also I have heard south/red polls are the best and I have 2 breeders I'm working with to check out there meat.
