Hi yall, from currently soggy Virginia
Me n hubby have 50 acres, and lease a bit more. 30 Angus (and crosses) and the bull.
Came from a country background, but they did goats. No goats for me, thanks very much! ;-) Unfortunately, they didnt leave me a ranch, a zillion dollars worth of equipment, and a lifetime of cattle lore - So that's where you guys come in!
So far, I think we've been doin ok. We started with only a few mature cows, and purchased or bred our own heifers. So we've been worrying over heifers the last couple years. We did lose one with a huge bull calf, and had to help with only a couple - so I think we've been pretty darn lucky!
Just nice to find a relavant board, and no doubt I will pester yall with questions soon nuff.
