[QUOTE="RichieMaGoo, post: 132645, member: 2524"] Have you considered raising Holstein steers from bottle calves, DBC? It takes little time- just feed 'em twice a day. They can be raised in hutches virtually anywhere (built my hutches for under $40 a piece)....and it's a great way to into cattle on the cheap. Of course you won't be building a reproducing herd this way....but with the money you make off of them, you can get you some real cows 8 or 9 months down the road- and if moving is in your plans.....you'll be selling the steers anyway. I started this way just ten months ago....and i've got 25 steers now.....for less than what a few cows would have cost me. (and quite frankly, this is working out so well, I'm not planning on getting cows, unless the prices drop drastically) [/QUOTE]
