[QUOTE="Ruark, post: 820885, member: 16279"] I'm rather skeptical of the idea of raising two big cows on just 2 acres. You're talking about half-ton animals, remember. I'd hate to think what that place will look like after the first time it gets muddy. How are you going to handle them for shots, pour-ons, etc.? Pens? You going to build shelters for bad weather? Storage for the feed? 20 gallons of water a day? Basically they're just going to live on the hay and cubes you buy and feed them. There won't be any grass in there after they've tromped all over it for a few days. Heaven knows what that place will look like after a good rain. I don't know, I'm sorry, maybe I'm wrong, but I just can't see this working. You might consider the option of buying an animal or two on a working ranch. You would be the legal owner, but let them raise it, and you pay the costs, come out and visit it, etc. [/QUOTE]
