[QUOTE="darcelina4, post: 1604868, member: 27059"] Since you are new to cattle I would not buy heifers. I think if you bought 3rd stage bred 3 to 8 year old cows in late feb/early march, calve them, buy a 2 year old black bull to breed them back, you might do ok selling in the fall. Dont wait too late. I agree that you need a chute and catch pens to doctor them. You might want to stop by the vet on your way home with them to work them (vaccines, deworm, multimin shot). I think you need to check on them every other day. That might be a nice de-stressing trail for your show horses too. I would tell you to buy all black cows. 300 acres can feed lots of cows but you might not want to get in over your head with the first bunch. You might want to see if you can find someone to bale hay off it on shares. You can never have too much hay piled up. [/QUOTE]
