...Our nest empties this year, and so far my wife seems intent on filling it with Red Poll cattle.
I always learn something here at PB.
Yolk, we've been looking at Lowline Angus, and Dexters for future cattle candidates. After reading up on Red Polls, I might have to add them to the mix. High marbling, and choice beef on grass only? That's an attractive mix for sure.
FINALLY! Something that I am expertly qualified to comment on! LOL
What are your goals for the cattle?
Are you looking for just meat for yourself? Do you want to sell them in a cow calf operation? Do you want to sell them as finished animals, or sell grass finished beef? If you tell me more about what you want to do and how much land you have to work with I will give you my expert opinion.
I have 157 acre working beef cattle operation, which isn't big by any means, but we haven't fed a bite of hay or grain since 2012, and our animals and our soil is doing better than ever.
Let me be an expert for once. LOL.
