Hello,
I'm new to this forum and forums in general.
My family and I are from north Florida. It's old dairy farms where I am at and they have all sold out to development. There are only a few small ranches around us left. I was not raised around cattle or much livestock at all.
We wanted to get a meat cow so my neighbor gave me a calf around 4 years ago.
She didn't have her sucking instinct and her mom rejected her. Had to tube feed her for a few months until she would start eating hay and grain. Tough start for my first cow but I was hooked. 1 cow turned into 2. 2 turned into 10 and so on. I have about 80 head and I am always open to hear how others do things. I want to make sure I do right by my cattle and the consumer when they go to the sale. Thanks for having me.
