Getting started

I'm just getting started even though this has been a few years in the making. Over the past 2 years, I have been researching growing and producing my own food. I have a grand vision, but my husband says it will take lots of work, so we are starting with what we know.....cows. We have a small herd that produced 7 offspring last year, 5 of which are heifers that we will put back into breeding. So that leaves us with 2 steers to process for grass fed beef this year. Our momma cows have been busy giving birth and we now have 8 babies, and only 1 is a heifer. Therefore, next year year we should be able to offer grass fed beef for sale, and we are looking forward to producing healthy locally grown meat.
