Ya im going to feed them out. I'm fsr from being big enough to do cow/calf

Yup I got all the paperwork that they are good to go. Prob just do a little dewormer along the way

I finally bit the bullet and bought 8 wangus calves. All about 500# 5 steers and 3 heifers. Just crazy excited :)

Just wanted to update I did go into the fsa/nrcs office and got signed up. They were very nice and gave me some info on programs that I might qualify for. So I'm off to a start anyway. I also secured my 8 wagyu calves for this fall. Which leads me into my next conundrum. So I have craigslist...
