[QUOTE="lseger, post: 293905, member: 5162"] My husband and I recently bought a 10 acre farm that we plan to use principally as a goat dairy, however to maintain our ag exemption we are going to have to get six cows on the land by January. We have the necessary infrastructure - barns, fences, cross fences, chutes...everything. The previous owners kept cows for the same reason. We already made our first mistake in not buying those cows with the land, are now trying to remedy that. We need a little advice on how to buy our first six. Please understand that we are doing as much research as we can as fast as we can about raising cows, but any advice would be welcome. I am going to read a zillion of these posts, as well as a few books - I just thought this would be a good place to seek help from others who were thrust into cattle a little before they were prepared. Any advice on whether to go to sale barns, get 6 from one breeder, get bred cows or steers, etc.would be much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
