So my lifelong goal of having my own cattle one day is going to come true this spring. My uncle has sold his wild herd and we will be buying about 10 cows and a new bull sometime this year.
The goal is to produce feeder calves. Aside from structural soundness, my uncle has only specified the following criteria that are important to him:
- Docility
- Calving Ease
- Mothering ability

So for cows, I was thinking of trying to find some AngusXhereford F1's. Theoretically, this should maximize longevity and optimize milking and mothering ability.
For a sire, i'm thinking of going with this guy:
Replacement heifers will not be kept.
This is my plans in a nutshell. Am I missing anything that might only be learned from experience?
