[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 790992, member: 7509"] I am sort of easing into the same thing, minus the sheep. One of the things about cattle I am painfully aware of as a beginner is the fact anything you do (building your herd internally) seems to take forever. Selling natural freezer beef the number one thing to keep in mind is you need to provide these customers with a top quality product. I would stay with a beef breed rather than dairy. I would ease into cattle by buying quality beef breed three-fers when ever possible - A preg-tested bred commercial beef cow with calf at her side. This is the most economical way to get into cattle. Maybe one or two quality, healthy well-cared for three-fers per year in addition to stockers. You may be able to get some fairly reasonably priced this time of year if you have hay for the winter for them. Good luck. Jim [/QUOTE]
