Finally starting!!

Hello guys, I posted here before, from Texas, but the Marine Corps has moved me to NC, and I will be closing on my 13 acres on 29 Jan!! I would like to thank Rafter S for letting me come see his operation back in TX! I need to build fences and then get some cattle. I plan on doing 5 or 6 strand high tensile, and then getting some weaned calfs to pasture until ready for local slaughter. Criaglist type sales. I have 4 kids and one on the way, so I will be raising at least one for my own family and then anything else will be sold. I would like to thank all of you for the endless hours of reading and knowledge which has gotten me to this point!! Once I move into the new place I will update this post with pics, as I know that pictures are really what everyone wants to see! Thanks again!!

Trying to post a photo... Seeing if this works. If it does, this is the back of my place. I'm pretty sure this is about 4 acres cleared (in this photo).

No cattle yet, but I raised 3 hogs. I slaughtered this one last week. Never done it before, so this might look ugly to some of the pros out there. The hogs are practice for beef later on!! I have my front yard (1-2 acres) fenced with 5 strand high tensile, and I'm going to start on the back yard (4-5 acres)soon. We just had baby number 5 two days ago, and I am going on an extended work trip soon, but eventually I'll have some cattle! Until then I have the other 2 pigs left to get up to size, 2 turkeys and 30 or so chickens to keep me busy. Oh and the 5 kids lol. Thanks for letting me post on here
