Angus Cattle Shower
Well-known member
Well, here's the situation. Dad is selling all his cows because the heifers he could retain do not throw consistent calves. He started on Simm/Angus bred heifers. Over the years he's used Angus bulls, Simmental bulls and Salers, with a simmental/Angus bull up until a few years ago, so there's alot of diversity in the herd. I am planning on selling all my Angus females with all of his. There's one or two good ones in there, but am not a fan of their performance out there. I'm keeping my purebred Shorthorn cow, and my brother is keeping one of his Angus cows so we still have freezer beef. So here's my question to you, if you had 15k, all the equipment already here, and hay put up for the winter, would you put it back into cattle or would you put it into the ground and rent a quarter section? Am in need of a new truck, but figured I better put it into something that will make me money, not spend it for me
Have considered going to the auction and buying some heifers and some steers, feed the steers out, get the heifers on a good feed plan, thin out the ones I dont like, breed the good ones and throw the misfits into the feed pen and send them away too. What does everyone think? Like I said, ive got all the equipment and help I would need for either way.
