[QUOTE="simme, post: 1810211, member: 40418"] A few thoughts. What is growing on this 10 acres that needs to be brush hogged and fenced? Is it grass that will support cattle or is it brush and weeds? 10 acres is not enough to be in the "cattle business" with cows and a bull. It is enough to raise some beef for putting in the freezer or for a hobby. Some things to consider: Source of water and how the cattle access water. Good fence. A means to catch and confine the cattle in a small pen. Pasture quality - grass type, soil fertility, soil ph. Shade and shelter requirements. A way to store and feed hay. Truck and trailer to haul cattle. Time to check the cattle. Expectations for making a profit. Access to a veterinarian when needed. Find that mentor that can look at this 10 acres and explain what is needed. [/QUOTE]
