I have a farmer that will sell me corn and beans at a good price. Is there something that I could buy (cheap) to mix and grind my own feed. I am only going to feed 2 heifers or steers out to butcher for me and some friends. maybe something with a hand crank or electric motor driven.
What do you all feed the ones you are finishing out to butcher, Ive heard shelled corn, ground corn, with soybeans without, soybeans, supplements, etc.
I just bought 46 acres of land that i would like to pasture someday. I am going to cut some Osage Orange fence posts on my property. I wont be needing them for 3 - 5 years. Do they need to cure any time before they are used? How should I store them until then? Any advice?

I am considering buying a calf or two to raise and butcher. for my family and a few friends. and I think it would be a good experience for my 2 boys( and me). I have a little over an acre to pasture right now. and I have access to plenty of hay and a good price on feed. what do you...
