[QUOTE="duke81, post: 46090, member: 627"] Hello everyone! Well I am t-totally new to raising cattle and need advice/help on how to get started. I own 25 acres and have 2 cows I am helping raise (they're my grandmas) one is a female calf (Brahman) and the other is a female, not sure how old, (Red Angus) and she might be pregnant. We let our neighbor run his cattle with ours because he doesn't have that much land and has about 15, one of which is a Beefalo bull. That's about it for the situation, now my questions: How to tell if she is really pregnant, the calf is VERY skiddish/shy how to 'cure' that, any downsides to letting them run with the others? Also, my wife and I are going to start buying calves of our own, any breed that's a good 'starter' breed to help us get the feel of how stuff works, and what to look for in a good calf of the breed (we don't plan on showing, just commercial). Any other help/advice will be appreciated, sorry this post is so long I'm full of questions :lol: . Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
