@Trevor P Rowe our bull was getting too aggressive and he already breed cows again. We are raising 1 female which he can’t breed his own offspring. We’re waiting on heifer to give birth The other cow had a bull calf. We half to get bull calf fixed so he can be raised for beef or sold. We are buying a weaned bull to raise up to breed cows later. Our bull was named Cash Money. We have Dot, Lucy, April and Gus. Our new baby bull is Buddy. And we’re waiting on new calf from Lucy. We will get bull calf in July or August. Our bull we put down was approachable but he liked to tear things up. We butchered Cash and he gave us 963 pounds of meat and weighed over 1700 pounds. He was an angus who had a good life and was raised on vegetables, watermelons and cantaloupe. We loved him and miss him but that is why you raise them. I live with my brother and his wife on 9 acres where we raise 4 1/2 acres of crops for the Farmers markets in Colorado.

Where are you in Colorado?

Do you see a decline in meat quality when they get that big?

@@idablythe4847 This is my dream. I have 10 acres paid for in wine country. Would like to raise a few head and do some vegetable farming (in a commercial greenhouse). How many hours a week are you working on average (I know it probably varies a lot) and can this be a profitable venture? Where would suggest someone start learning?

@@johnnyripple8972 It’s not about the time you spend and the hay needed to raise animals. It’s about for us that we have our own meat no antibiotics. Animals all grass fed. We have extra animals so it’s like a savings account if we need money. I would suggest if you want to raise vegetable you need Toto research how and best way to grow in green house. It can be a lot of work , especially if you can’t control weeds with no chemicals. We have a plastic layer machine and a hiller to put rows in. We are trying to eliminate most weeds before we start. My brother has been doing this for many years. Plastic layer also put down drip line under plastic so we only water the plant. Also have a sand filter for water so drip lines don’t get plugged with dirt. My brother uses a chemilizer to add nutrients that plants need. We also companion plant other vegetables so you utilize every inch of land. I know it sounds like a lot of work. We grew up on a dairy farm in Illinois You half to be commuted once you start and you will run into problem’s, But don’t be discouraged. My brother is on Facebook and also Grand Junction Gatdening here in Colorado. His name is George Morehouse if you interested. He shows a lot of what he does so you can get an idea. I would start out small until you work out kinks. Good luck. 🍀

Thank you! Large-scale industrial farming left the free market long ago...

The small farms didn't "fail," it was a designed corporate takeover.

Thank you Stephen!
