Aint that the truth. At least I'm "smartening up this go round", lol.

Currently, we lease the farm, however, the farmer is considering retirement in a couple of years. We wouldn't mind homesteading and cutting back on our "city work". BTW, I thought farmers never retired, they just planted themselves in the end :tiphat: To calculate the acreage, what I did...

Not really looking to sell, or get into the cattle business, more for a tax exemption and homesteading. So anything that can take my learning curve, and not rely on an experience cattleman, would be best for both me and the cow :cboy: Basically, my setup would be an old cotton field that is...

What breed does the best, and is the easiest to care for, in the Kingsville, Texas area? Thanks!

I've seen several GP 100 w/4' barrels here in Houston, can send you a pm if you're interested. Ditto that on .45LC, althought I don't know if they sell online. As for Kimbers, buttah! Even my wife loves Kimber.

Thanks Dun.

Will make it a pair. I thought about the mini cattle out there, but they seem to be expensive and more fashionable than practical. Emu, Alpaca, and Ostrich came to mind. How often should they see a vet?

I'm not really sure yet Dun, at this point, I'd probably buy someone's old pet cow. :lol2: We may try our hand at something bigger next year as we have 50 acres.

Recently purchased some land and plan to plop a cow (angus) on it. Will one be okay, or should I get a pair? I won't have time this year to do much more than feed and check for obvious health issues. The cow will have access to a large lake. Also, How often should the cow have a vet visit?

36 and 5a look mad. :lol:
