[QUOTE="CCRanch, post: 107149, member: 1913"] MY .02. Get you about 10 Gentle bred cows and a bull. Sell the bull calves and keep the heifers (if the heifers are not what you desire, change bulls). My experience has been that the heifers you keep will be raised there and will know where they live, and will not try to get out of the fences as long as they have plenty to eat. I have 140 acres behind my house and 40 cows that were born and raised there. Some of my fences only have 2 strands of wire up and I have no problem with mine getting out. Just change bulls every 3 or 4 years, (you can breed back to the bull's daughter, but not his granddaughter)and build your herd up over time. Cull any problem cattle, and you should be fine. Might not work for everyone, but it does for me. [/QUOTE]
