[QUOTE="ALX., post: 429701, member: 6932"] If I was to start again [b]just for pleasure [/b]they would be my breed of choice. We used to drive an hour north of here just to watch a highland herd that was kept on a hillside. Certain scenes took me right back to Scotland, or imagining some prehistoric scene with wooley mammoths. Lean meat , easy calving, easy keeping, small frame and it's looking like if you took your time buying, low start up. The fellow who ran that herd had a booming custom meat business then, running on the health benefits of the meat. If you run it right, you should get away with free meat every year and be happy with that. I should ask though, have you calculated your feed requirements? 6 acres isn't a lot of ground for more that a couple pairs. [/QUOTE]
