[QUOTE="Harris2346, post: 1545104, member: 37952"] Because you brought this to my attention about there maybe not being a market for the springer heifers I have been thinking about other ideas to raise cattle. I don’t want to run a dairy I don’t have the money to build a barn, I don’t want to run beef cattle cause I don’t have enough acres of pasture to run them on, but another thing I thought of is raising the dairy heifers until they are weaned or maybe a little bit older then selling them but I think I would run into the same problem as trying to sell them as a springer because there might not be a market for them because who wants to buy a heifer that’s not bred. If you have any other ideas for a cattle operation I would love to hear it. What my situation is, I have a buddy that has a 30 acre farm and it’s paid off, 20 acres of it is in alfalfa that someone is renting from him and growing the alfalfa and he will pay us in hay for the rent instead of money. So right there we don’t have to buy the hay. And we have the 10 acres of pasture and we have a little section of it in corrals but they need to be fixed and we need to build some cattle shelters.
