One of the most important decisions you will ever make as a cattle manufacturer is your choice in breed or breeds of cattle you plan to produce. This one decision will have life-long effects and might even make you or break you. I don't want to pick any certain breed of cattle, at this point, because there ar both pros and cons about every breed of cattle raised in the US and abroad.
What many producers don't realize is there ar underlying factors that should help you decide on which breeds will be best — location, location, location.
Every region of the country has a different clime and every ranch has a dissimilar "micro-climate". How many times has your neighbor gotten a needed rain shower and you have gotten some wind packed with dust?
Every single piece of land crosswise this country has differing weather patterns, so the question of what breed should I choose should begin with "what breed is best suitable for my particular location?
There are many other factors that help us choose the breed or breeds of cattle we want to produce like: our goals, market trends, opinions, early maturing breeds, later maturing breeds, etc.
Something I would like to interject into your thoughts is how other operations on the beef production chain view the choice of cattle you plan to raise.
