Hi Kelly c Welcome to the world of animal husbandry.. This is my 2cents worth as everyone else. If you are going to start a production herd, even if a small one My advise would be to buy a couple of bred second or third calf young cows. I don"t know your backround but since your asking I assume you haven"t alot of expirience. First calf heifers can be a problem calving the first time and you have to wait a whole long time to see a return. A bred cow will give you a calf right away, and they have had one at least one calf already and know the program . They also have an easier time calving and mostly do well on their own. I have an assortment of colors because of trading work for calves but my choice is Black angus. Bred to black angus bulls. Good solid black calves will bring the most money at market time, and are the most efficient in converting feed to pounds of meat.. You also will have no concerns with horns.. The genetics take care of that. Good luck and have a good time . I enjoy raising my cattle , and the claves are running everywhere right now.. Quite a sight..
