Going to be starting up a hobby enterprise - just for me and my partner, we're retired. Just 1 Jersey Cow/calf operation (and a few chickens)
I have 2 pastures of 3 acres each to let her have her way with (I have more land than that much 1 cow/calf only needs so much! haha)
I live in the Piedmont of North Carolina. Was wondering if a loafing shed was enough for her to comfortably calve in or if I needed a little barn? Our weather is fairly mild.
Also was wondering how often I'd need to move her from one pasture to another, since 3 acres is quite big for one cow/calf.
Any advice is welcomed -- and please ask any questions if you need more information. Thank you so much for any replies!
