new to the fourm

[morecows]

I 've been reading for some time and dreaming of getting into raising cattle, Last week I bought 60 acres in florida with about 50 acres being in pasture land. Very nice pice with a creek running through the back. The owner sold me some of his cattle also to get me started. A Braford Bull & seven breed cows due in december. This is all new to me I have never raised cattle I know I have a lot to learn. just wanted to interduce myself.

MU extension has one and I'm sure most of the other universitys in livestock growing areas have as well.
I have the one from MU, it's half a dozen booklets that covers everything from breed selection to book keeping

Welcome Morecows! The first bit of advice I want to pass on to you is to wear your hip boots. It gets deep here sometimes.
