Does anyone have the profits on a registered Black Angus yearling and or two year old compared with a commercial Angus cross yearling or two year old?
I'm considering selling my Black Angus cross cattle and thinking about investing the money in a pure bred Black Angus herd.
Let's assume $50,000 is the investment and 90 acres is the pasture amount. I could invest the $50,000 and net a 10% return. In addition, I could enter a government program where I could receive approximately $200 per acre for leaving the land unused.
On the other hand, I could purchase a registered bull and 30 or so young heifers for approximately that amount.
Or would I be better off keeping the commercial cows I have now and buy a registered Angus bull?
Any suggestions?
