[QUOTE="preston39, post: 155055, member: 1487"] sambo...., Good advice on this thread. I wouldn't advise to go the heifer route..... for the inexperienced.....to many pitfalls and takes too long to get started. Take the revenue from the cows you have and from hay sales,timber sales, fireplace heating wood sales,etc., and buy 3 in ones. Cow,calf and bred back. You can turn the calf in 4-5 months and buy more cows.(From your comments I concluded you have other job/income to provide for the family because 10 cows wouldn't do it) If you have extra pasture see if a commercial herd guy near by needs pasture....rent what you dont need. If he/she knows you will keep a good eye on the animals it's a win win situation. Ask to include a bull with the herd as part of the deal...a big savings and allows you to have another cow in your overall plans. Some guys may buy exra cows if he knew pasture was available. It has been done before...don't give up and good luck. [/QUOTE]
