[QUOTE="OGF 1, post: 1505416, member: 33427"] So my wife and I have started a meat business from our farm over the last 2 years starting with hogs and eggs this year adding pastured poultry and have had a lot of pressure to offer beef! I have been putting it off due to lacking fencing and just not being quite set up. Needless to say we've caved to the pressure and just ordered out first 4 calves off a dairy farm that are Holstein angus crosses should be born sometime the next few weeks I know they're bottle calves but we're goat people and aren't newbies to bottle feeding so that doesn't really bother us My questions include so much, like has anyone had good luck with Holstein angus crosses? Can I run them on a self feeder after weaned or would I be better feeding grain in a trough every day? They won't have a crazy amount of pasture But we raise really nice alfalfa hay Any thoughts or pointers? We raise all our own feed including corn spelt and hay so that cost will be lower [/QUOTE]
