Sounds interesting, Todd. Two questions come to mind:

- Do you now have the labor to manage the cattle operation in addition to your cropping? Good labor is hard to find and expensive to keep but essential.

- Why do you think your Dad would be so concerned about bringing outside cattle into what sounds like a closed herd?  I think you could bring in a lot more than cattle if you are not careful.

Best of luck to you. Just be careful.
