[QUOTE="mjdtexan, post: 575650, member: 8701"] I live in the Houston Texas area. I have 5 acres and can use the back three to raise the cows. I have no idea how many cows that would support. I am not interested in selling beef. I want to eat it. I have no idea which breed of cow to get. I have no idea what a 3 day old cost or even where to start looking for a couple of them. I would like to slaughter 1 a year. Is it possible to run 3 cows on this limited amout of space? I actually live out in the county ( I can almost throw a rock at the city limit sign). I am looking to purchase it or them in early spring of 09. Right now I am clearing the edges of the property for a 4 wire steel t post barbed wire fence. The pasture has good grass and a pond on it. I no nothing about raising calves. I am curious about things like how old are they when slaughtered, do you supplement with other things than grass, what are these "blocks" that I have seen mentioned on this forum, what is the best way to secure a vet, how do I handle vaccinations, and all of the stuff relative to raising a few cows. I would really appreciate any advice I could get. Nice to meet yall [/QUOTE]
