I was raised on a small beef farm(angus) and want to start a small (2-3) herd of my own. Just for the beef for my family and a few friends. I have about 10 acres of vacant land that would make great pasture. Will this be enough? All the info I have been able to find says it will be close. Also I remember from my childhood the angus dont seem to mind "wandering" thru fences. Would herferds be better? Also should I by calves(steers?) yearly or should I consider a "breeding" program? I'm not looking to make any money with this project just the satisfaction of raising my own beef and helping a SMALL number of friends and family. Also I have a 3 year old and want him to have all the benefits I enjoyed from living on a farm and raising animals. I have read many of the other message strings and have really enjoyed the humor and wonderful information. Any thoughts on my project would be helpful.
