[QUOTE="Jabes0623, post: 1185476, member: 23051"] Allforage you raise some good points, many I've considered (I looked very hard at grass fed Galloway cattle & finishing them myself to sell direct) however in the end I don't believe I have enough land or time to run that type of operatio. I hope your not always this negative lol, purebred don't always work & neither do crossbreeds? Obviously. I do intend to raise 2 herds, 1 purebred for replacements & 1 terminal. I don't want to get in to the entire thing but ground will soon be broken on a $30 million beef processing plant about 30 mins drive from my land. I have it on good authority that the local beef production doesn't currently produce enough cattle to fill the need so I intend to help with that problem. I do have a rotational grazing plan, however I'm certain like any plan it won't survive first contact so I'll be changing it as I learn & grow. As for hay, well I don't even have cows yet so it's a little difficult to come up with a plan on how to minimize it's consumption. Since at the moment none is being consumed I'd say I'm doing great:)! If you have a suggestion other than Baldie's I'm all ears. [/QUOTE]
