| Considering looking into buying a small group of bred -broken mouth cows for the summer. The hope would be to calve them out this spring and sell everything in the fall. I have a 10 acres of alfalfa but any other feed would need to be bought. Would I need to add corn to the diet to get them ready for the pound cow market in the fall? How many pairs could I realistically feed off 10 acres? (assuming we at least get some rain)
I have an off farm business and am looking at this as another step toward my goal of farming. My dad has about 30 cow calf pairs and I would lean on his experience a bunch. I'm not expecting to make a bunch of money but It's always more enjoyable if you can turn some sort of profit. IS the profit potential worth the effort or is the hay better off sent to market at these prices?
