[QUOTE="Utah, post: 59870, member: 1043"] Yep, I was raised a military brat and never even had a chance to raise anything but hamsters and tropical fish. I need some advice from a few of you on what to do. I'd like to raise a couple of yearlings I think for the freezer next Sept/Oct. Here is my situation: I have 3 acres, I'm trying to get irrigation water. Power is at the street nearby but no connection for me yet. No shelters or corrals yet either. Relatively high water table - so a surface drain may work too. No culinary water yet. The fence is there but needs repair in several places. I dont want to go searching out lost animals. I need to know what week to look for good prices, I only want two. What waterers and feeders are best. What is the best way to get them transferred to my property. How do I catch them in the pasture when needed? What are the auctions like in a small community like Northern Utah? What else might I need to know besides that I am foolish for getting into this at this stage in my life? Thanks for any reply! Utah [/QUOTE]
