[QUOTE="Tim/South, post: 1216275, member: 17986"] On the subject of raising your own: You would want to keep the brood cow, not eat her after she calved. It would be three years before her heifer calf raised one big enough to eat. Plus a mother cow is older and the meat is usually not as desirable. You would need a way to breed the momma cow back. Owning a bull for one cow is not feasible. You can buy a younger calf and raise it or buy a bigger one and fatten (finish). [/QUOTE]
