Hello. My wife and I have 15 acres of fenced in green pasture with a pond and a barn in South East Louisiana. We had a friend that had a few cows on our property, but he fell on hard times recently and sold them. We learned some about cows from him and shared in their care. We like the idea of having more cows. Not looking to get rich, but if they can cover most of their own costs and keep the pasture down, that'd be great. I don't have a trailer, truck, or tractor. Most people around us seem to run a cow per acre.
If you were getting started in this situation, how many cows would you get? Would you get a tractor, truck and/or trailer? There are some stock trailer rentals near us as well as HD truck rentals. What other equipment would you get to get started. Our friend didn't have anything other than a truck, trailer, and broken down tractor.
