[QUOTE="angus9259, post: 1390159, member: 7398"] Re vaccines - should find a vet who can help you in your area or mentor from another local herd. Your idea of starting with bred cows is a good one. PERSONALLY I would avoid the sale barn - though I'm sure some have had great luck there. Look for a dispersal or local cattle for sale off the farm where you can meet the owners and ask questions and follow up later if you have issues - this will be worth gold later on. Prices won't be a ton different if you shop well. Supplements depend on you feed so there's no one size fits all for that. Again,getting some local help would be ideal. [/QUOTE]
