[QUOTE="angie1, post: 575656, member: 3886"] I would suggest starting out with weaned calves as opposed to bottle babies. Given your space, I think 2 is more reasonable than 3 ~ you will have to suppliment with hay, that pasture will not feed them so much as give them a place to be. Lots of differences between here and there I think ~ but maybe buy something that is not black, they are some cheaper and taste the same. Feeding out is a process, but they finish between 15-18 mos around here. Have you thought of contacting someone in the area and buying a half or quarter from them? or you want the experience of raising your own? Good advice from MPR below me, it is a good book and an interesting read. Very beginner friendly. [/QUOTE]
