I talked with the guy the used to own the land before me and he had six cows on the property but he was feeding grass on top of grazing. He also said it would support two head without extra feed but I would have to kick the horses out. Nice to know in the future.
I think I would maybe do it as a cooperative thing between a few friends. Mostly just to share cost. I’m not really in it for the money, just the beef and marrow bones, yummy!
Who has done it? How much land do you need per head? Rough annual cost? Feed volume? Vet bills?
My wife and I are toying around with the idea of raising one or two and having them processed for the freezer and sale. I have about four acres to play with.
Thanks for any input.
