[QUOTE="south0085, post: 1304559, member: 24289"] Hey all. I hope everyone has been doing well. It's been a while since I posted. I wanted to say thanks again for everyone's help. It's getting closer to spring, so I'm really starting to get things in order for buying some cows. I've decided to get a couple acres of my land prepared for cattle. I've got a 2 acre lot near my barn that is fenced separately. I'm going to purchase two male calves (weaned) in the spring and sell them this fall. That will give me all year (until fall) to learn about the cattle business and learn how it all works. I've never been around cattle, so this will be a good way to get my feet wet and experience all parts of the process, but with only two cows, rather than having 5 or 10 to learn on. A farmer that I go to church with recommended this to me, and I thought it was a very good idea. This also gives me the entire year to get the rest of my farm in working-order. I have 8 acres of fencing to clear out. Yes, all of it is grown up. And a few spots need to be fixed. Once it's cleaned out, I will put a hot wire around it. So next year, I should be able to purchase 6 or 8 cows and I will be ready to go. I wanted to post some pictures here, but I can't figure out how. Can someone help me? [/QUOTE]
