[QUOTE="J, post: 147781, member: 2167"] The amount of land you need to graze 2-3 cows depends alot on what you have. Your county extension agent can help you determine that. Also liming and fertizling helps with that but a soil test telling you what exactly you need to apply can be helpful. Fencing is a definite and I would start now just so you dont have a big lump sum cost in 3-4 years when you buy the cows and all that goes along with it. The cost of the cows and vet bills feed hauling butchering and processing, you need to check those prices in your area. I would start in stages just to slowly get into it financially and also that it might take 2-3 years to get your grass good and clean and ready to hold the cattle well. I know I didn't answer all your questions and the correctness of my answers might not be right on but you have came to the right place. Plenty of good knowledgable people on here to help you out.
