[QUOTE="Farmhand, post: 86660, member: 1292"] Welcome. I'm a little worried about your reasons for wanting cattle. Raising something just to be ag exempt is no reason to have animals. Money isn't exactly the totally right answer either. Been raising cattle all my life and I'm STILL waiting for the money. If you are looking for a get rich quick scheme - cattle ain't it. You can make a living but rich ain't gonna happen. I'm worried about the kind of care these animals are going to get when you realize some of the work, troubles, and heartache that the rest of us have seen. I'm not sure your heart is in it if you are using ag exemptions and money as reasons to have cattle. If you go ahead with this plan - How many head are we talkin'. What do you plan to do with the calves if you keep them and sell the cows? Worse case scenerio - these cows all have bull calves. You would have nothing left to have more calves later on. Then you have to buy more cows or lose that ag exemption your wanting. I would keep the cows and sell the calves. Keep breeding these cows to have calves every year. Keep replacement heifers out of these cows and if things go right, you won't be spending a lot of time looking for new cows. I would suggest you do some more research before jumping into this. Let us know what you come up with. [/QUOTE]
