We are starting a new place from scratch in western Canada. We have about 30 head of cattle and we want to keep growing our herd. For now we keep them at a family farm a mile from here but we want to get on our own feet as soon as we can. Where we are we have nothing except a fairly long, well treed slough running east-west and plan to winter our cows on the south side of it. Would like to know what tips you have, things you wish you'd done, experiences, mistakes, what's most important to start with etc. It's not like we have a lot of cash on hand so we won't be building anything out of this world but we want it functional and something we can grow with. We have a tarp shelter we'd be able to use i think it's 30x80? We calve in winter (Feb-Apr) thanks for your ideas!
