[QUOTE="ksmit454, post: 1665764, member: 39792"] Welcome! My best advice is to get yourself this book. I read it from front to back and still after owning cattle for a year and a half, will refer to this book when I have a question. The author does an excellent job of explaining pretty much anything you’d like to know about beef cattle. I would also suggest that you consider what your end goal with your cattle is. Would you want to get into a small cow-calf operation? Dairy cattle? Beef cattle? Have purebred cattle, registered, or crossbred? And if so, what is your plan for selling your milk/meat? There are specific guidelines or laws that allow you to sell meat in a specific way. And there are so many options to starting a cattle operation. In order to start your cattle operation, the first step is to have good fencing! It is so reassuring to have fencing that your cattle will not be breaking out of constantly. Start small with only a few head to see what it entails (it is a lot of work but most of us wouldn’t change it). Also make a good relationship with a veterinarian on your area. Have them come and do a “herd evaluation” so if any questions arise you are able to contact your vet for help/advice. [/QUOTE]
