[QUOTE="uscangus, post: 731836, member: 13261"] thank you for responding-KMacGinley- i will breed these mature cows from 4-7 years old to a black angus bull from a closed friends who has 50 angus black bull at no charge because of barter and free dental works. the person who has 50 black angus has a cattle trailer. he was the one who transfer my cows at $50 per carriage. also, he is the one who banded, dewormed, and vaccinated my cows or calves. once my herd is large enough, i will make a chute with corral, along a maternity section for near calving. again, i will sell them at the auction. last year, my steers were sold at late october at 0.80 per wt. i was newbie and purchase spring steers of black angus around 400wt and sold them at 900-1000wt. they grazed 50 acreage as lawn mower. i was newbie and did not know the fluctutation of price changes. after being at the auction 2-3x per month for the whole year, i know the lowest price to buy and highest to sell. bcs of those steers were 7-8 with great conformation and temperament. i bought them as a group and knew that it would not be a big change. last year, i had an electric fence with four points barbs wire but was not secure. this year, i rectify and removed the electric fence and place 4-5 layers of four points barbs wires with railroad tyes and t-post(7 ft and ten feet apart). secure each four sections with gate. i did this changed to secure my mind or peace mind while I practiced. in regard the hardwares, i secure the fence prior to acquiring the steers last year. i made three sections of pathway for the cattle to enter to the barn for water and minerals blocks during hot summer(so they wont burn energy and wt). i was my booth camp in farming with my children who help me. my neighbor help us place the t-post and railroad tyes with his front loader and pole digger with his pto. i used the brushhog to even the pastures before the steers. usually, in summer, they are in the pastures grazing. during winter, they eat in the barn where we place winter feed in the manger. there are over 50-60 manger slot per cows. Once the cow have calves, i will separate only the calves to another section of the bard for winter feeding. i have started feed for calves. so far today, the second calf drop at 1:00pm during seattle's time. the first dropped at 2:00pm something yesterday. thank you for your response, remember, i am still a newbie but have read a lot of articles in the internet from each vetenerian's schools, uscangus :) [/QUOTE]
