[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 546258, member: 3162"] If you are going to play this game, play to win. If you are not going to play to win, don't play. Find someone who is successful in your climate and pay attention to what they are doing. My climate is totally different. Watch out for horse traders. People will try to sell you anything they can. Your cows need to be capable of foraging on what grasses you can grow on that ground. They need to be capable of providing a healthy marketable calf each year. Don't get emotionally involved. This is a business and treat it as such. Don't try to feed cows out of a bag. You'll go broke in a hurry. It is all about grasses in my opinion. Your growing season is shorter than mine but you have longer days in the summer. Use all of it to the maximum of your benefit. Stock pile some hay that will sustain the cows through the winter. Get a mentor if you possibly can. What works for me in my climate will be totally different and so will the breed of cattle. You need to visit with those who are making things work on similar ground in close proximity. [/QUOTE]
