[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1699407, member: 24027"] Welcome! And I'm partial to Angus/Angus cross. I agree with [USER=13664]@A.J.[/USER] about starting out with breds, other than heifers. Even if you personally know the producer you're purchasing from (as opposed to a sale barn), have they been pelvic measured & bred to a calving ease bull at appx. 15 months? Fully vaccinated? Tame or wild? You don't want to start out with bat shyt crazy. And even with all the aforementioned boxes checked, heifers can be tricky - keep in mind, they're the equivalent of a teenage girl & sometimes don't "mother up" or produce enough milk, can be more flighty, not as diligent, etc. Best of luck! But sounds like you're set up/fully operational and have done a lot of research. [/QUOTE]
