[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 679812, member: 2653"] Whoa!! There is no way that 10 acres of land will support 8-10 cows! Unless, ofcourse, you feed them their entire diet, which will mean that you will not make a profit. I'm not sure what type of profit your after, but 10 acres is not really enough - even in the best growing conditions with great grass - to make a substantial profit. As an example, I'm lucky if I clear $150 to $175 per moma cow per year. This is after all expenses are taken out. Goats, as mentioned before, would be a good idea. Welcome to the boards, though. If you dead set on cows, that's fine, just don't expect to do it for profit, and you'll probably only be able to carry3 or 4 cows (ofcourse I don't know your pasture situation) [/QUOTE]
