re: beefmaster cattle

It's a very good breed for southern states. The only knock I have on them is their sheer size. Takes more acreage/cow to sustain them and the price won't differ enough to recoup the cost/acre. In other words you won't get any more for them than an angus or brangus and the input cost is a little more for the beefmaster. All that aside that is a very good price that I would probably jump on. I would not buy a beefmaster bull to put on them for their first calves though.

so you think I should cross with a smaller breed the first time so they have less chance of having birth issues due to a big baby?
also, what about buying semen instead of a bull?
