Need some advice

[KentuckySpud]

Recently bought a Simangus 2 year 3 in 1 and put them on a 2.5 acre lot. It's just momma and the calf along with our donkey on the land. And here recently the momma has been real spooky acting. Told a buddy of mine this and he said the cow might not be given enough company by the calf and said I might want to put another cow on the land and keep her company. Is this a possibility of our cow being lonely or spooked without another grow cow like herself?

This may be a stupid question because I am completely new to cattle so sorry in advance!

I don't think it's the donkey doing that. The calf runs him off pretty easily.

Where are you located Spud? I'll be up at our place in a week or so and I'll come by and take a look at your set up.

Your buddy is right. Cattle are herd animals, a cow and her calf isn't much of a herd.
If you can swing another 3 in 1 I'd do it.

A guy offered us 9 year old Black angus cow that is bred for $640. But my thing is we don't have enough pasture to support that many cows by the 2 acre rule that everyone talks about.

In that case I'd look for 600 lb steer that you can turn into freezer beef next spring, as the
feed you supplement him will be turning into beef for your table.

Yup, many times, the poverty is stifling. I only wear a suit to a funeral so no worries there.

More money and more poverty. Sometimes in the same hollow.

When do ya wanna go?

 

[kenny thomas]

You don't know where to go even. Lol

 

[KentuckySpud]

I can't tell if you fellers are serious or blowing smoke. No one comes to the big EKY voluntarily.

Figured you could ask him and I'll just come to your place and ride from there with you.

I've got to be in upper East Tennessee in 2-3 weeks so PM Kenny your address and we will coordinate a trip.

 

[KentuckySpud]

I'll just send you all a picture of the lot. It's nothing worth making a trip for.
