Hi, My parents have 13 cows and some cattle that they raise to sell beef. Right now i'am studying and i help them on holidays and such, however i don't know much about all that they do. I just walk the cows to the place where they can eat and when at end of day i go back and bring them home and help with the cattle whike they drink milk.
I would like to go a bit deeper and know more about the whole thing. A good start would be showing more interest than i showed previoulty in this respect and then my parents can explain how it all works. But i also would like to start learning from other sources to get the whole picture and that also why i joined this forum.
Do you know of good websites with infomration about this and also some good books? I found some books in a search but i don't know how complete or useful are they.
I would really like to dive deeper in this and maybe later live from this? Situation is bad that even finishing studies job is not guaranted and i must confess i like the idea of living in a rural area instead of all the confusion in the city.
Just to have an idea if i were to start and should i go about it? Can you gain decent money raising beef cattle?
Another alternative would be make use the tractor. What can i do with it that is profitable?
