[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 1431769, member: 8265"] Funny, another supposedly simple newbie question that isn't so simple, and leads to disagreement. Good thing we have newbies. Anyway, if you haven't been around cattle, you first need to learn the real basics, like how they behave, and how to build a fence and a pen and about watering and hay and such. I would get a couple young steer calves, spoil them with grain (not too much), halter break them, and learn slowly. Work up to a couple of bred cows later. No reason you couldn't build a pen tomorrow and get a couple weaned jersey calves at least and start learning. You need a laboratory while you're reading books. The basics are grass/hay, water, mineral, strong pen, and then wire fencing for larger pastures. Plus shade, and probably a shed. [/QUOTE]
