I have a 6 acre field that I"m thinking of putting some cattle on and would appreciate any input. The field has great fencing and a nice sized pond. I"ll be moving out to the farm for 4 months this summer and think it would be nice to have a few cows. I have very limited experience working cattle, but always love learning new things. I"m thinking of keeping them for 6 months or so, buy late spring and sell them in the fall. I currently live an hour away. Would checking them only on weekends for 2 months be out of the question? Would all calves be my best option? My dad grew up with cattle and thinks of crazy for wanting to try this. Also, I am a college student working with limited funds, I"d like to keep this under $2,000 if possible. Thanks for any help.
