I take it all those e-6b's don't bug the animals much? Couldn't be a louder jet that goes any slower and not stall out. :bash: |

you mean the EA6B with The pratt and whitney J52 engine pointed at a 45 degree angle :chuckle: |
| seth30:
It wont the property is almost in green bank. I have never heard a jet there :tup: |
| HORSEPOWER:
OK, I'll assume grass fed rather than grain fed. Are you planning on taking them to the sale after they are fed out or advertising to sell on the hoof or on the rail with the choice of halves and quarters? |

theres abit more to it than just buying some steer calves..20 acres seems small for 20 cows, probably have to supplement with hay, and other feed. do ya plan on simply fattening up steers you buy and sell them, or buying 10 cows, keeping them at that number and selling off the calves every year. unless you plan straight up organic, your gonna want to think about shots and other medical related issues for them, which means a squeeze shoot, corals etc etc. if the other guy has his *censored* together on this plan and you simply throw some cows in with him and he mostly cares for them, then maybe its a good deal for you. it ;)worked for me.. currently cattle prices are at an all time high, great if your selling. like others said, buy at auction. there are guys that you can pay to transport your cows from the lot, for a fee of course. you will also need to call these guys up to haul when ya sell, unless yeah buy a cattle trailer. you will also need to consider branding and registry of course, the state wants its piece of the pie too. |
