Chillin' with the herd
We want to buy 2 brangus and 2 nelore hiefers approx. 7 months old.
We've met with the farmer and agreed the price. He has quite a few for us to choose from.
I noticed a few that were similar size but bulkier and calmer than the others. Which I liked.
What else should I look for in a 7 month old?
We want them to raise calves, sell to our local butcher and keep part of the meat for us. If we wanted to can maintain 10 on our pasture (mild winters here), so we have a little flexibility with butchering age/selection once the girls are ready to meet our friends bulls.
