[QUOTE="OStateBeav, post: 1130371, member: 22339"] My wife and I have 20 irrigated acres, 18 of which are currently leased as farmland. So there is potential to expand down the road if need be. We are looking at Dexters to target the expanding "hobby farms" in our area. And beef for our family. I have been in contact with a local breeder and have some questions that I am hoping you all can help me out with. Financially speaking, we want to start small and can expand our herd as we are able to. Ideally, we would like 2 breeding cows and a bull. He can put together multiple packages based on our needs. For example.... A bred cow with her bull calf by her side. Here we would be immediately and hesitantly jumping into line breeding. A bred (or non bred) cow with a heifer at her side. He can also package in a bull that is not blood related to the cow and her offspring. What kind of package would you all recommend us working towards? We are new to the game, so take it easy on us. Thanks for the feedback. [/QUOTE]
