[QUOTE="cackalackygirl, post: 1146308, member: 22572"] Hello there! I am a newbie here and to this whole world. Selling my cookie cutter house on .12 acres (!) and buying a 100+ year old farmhouse on 15+ acres. I'm pretty excited. The farm already has 2 fenced pastures. I was thinking about getting one cow. This may be a silly question, but can you have just one cow, or do they need companionship? Are there any resources (other than the Extension office - I am already aware and have contacted them) that can help me? If I am literally starting from square one and know NOTHING about raising cattle, what is the best way to learn? By doing, or is there some kind of cow book that I can buy? Should I look into hiring a cow raising mentor? PS - wanted to say that this is a hobby for me and I am not planning to make $ from it, just provide for the family some fresh, real food and possibly dairy. [/QUOTE]
