I have owned commercial cows for many years and usually work a group of heifers every year to sell as replacements. I am looking to go a different route aside from that and have stumbled onto this site and have liked what I have seen. I have no experience with showing or breeding show stock. I know it is a very long road and I have no expectations of getting rich on this venture. I just want to raise a few good calves every year with a chance of eventually breeding some potential show animals. My child is young and has interest in the cows, but no where near old enough to consider showing. I would like to maybe retain some of the heifers and potentially have them as solid breedstock for when he can show.
I am just looking for ideas on which breed to consider and also opinions on how to get started. Thanks in advance
