I recently have acquired access to a small lot of about 3 or 4 acres with a couple little buildings that could be used to finish a few calves. However I am strictly a row crop farmer and know little to nothing about cattle. My question is how many feeder calves approximately would I be able to fit in this lot? Is there really even any limitations as long as its below 10 or 15? Thanks in advance.
Permalink Reply by David Ernst on There would be no problem with 10 -15 hd in that much lot. Do you have a feeding prgram fiured out? Is there a bunk or feeder? How much space # of head does it support? Really work your numbers on the buy and the selling, healhcare, and especially feed. Many people do feed a small number of catte, but it does not mean they all make money, especially using the true market costs of the feed stuff they grow.
