[QUOTE="DaveinMaryland, post: 820981, member: 16409"] Wow thanks so much for the quick help. Looks like my plan is full of holes from the start. I've put a lot of work into developing my "orchard" and am now literally just starting to see the fruits of my labor. I'm not crazy about having them trampled. Obviously my fencing is not even close to secure and that will take a lot of work. Even though my neighbor feeds our dogs and cats (I cut their grass as a trade off) with an autistic 5 year old and one on the way I can not plan on her keeping up with the cattle. Finally I love sitting on a swing and looking out over our field to the big hill on the other side. Not sure I want it to turn into a mosh pit. I'm kind of bummed, I think this would be a fun hobby. But with all the other stuff to take care of maybe I need to punt on this idea. I thought I could pull it off with only one cow, learning I needed 2 and not having the available land was a deal breaker. And God forbid if one of the cows die, WTF am I going to do with a 600 pound cow in my field? By the way I did talk to some locals. They said spring to the end of fall is enough time to raise a cow and because of the time line I wouldn't need to build a shelter. That had me encouraged, now I guess I'm headed to Safeway. Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
