[QUOTE="Susie David, post: 100239, member: 1744"] How big is your family....raising beef for your freezer is a wonderful experience and will reward you with flavor that most city folks haven't ever tasted...but...a Angus steer will yield a whole freezer full, the Herefords a bit less. We started raising beef for our families and friends and now have more requests for beef than steers to finish. Just make your move, make some friends and see how it develops but I would hold off on the cattle until you know the location and the demand...you could be in a saturated market....hard to sell beef to a cattleman. Just how rural are you planning on living it could be a big shock or alot of fun and a real adventure. Good luck...oh yes, Herefords make great pets...if you have issues with their primary purpose...we have a son who will do anything on the farm but won't watch a slaughter. [/QUOTE]
