One of our Highland Cattle cows gave birth. When I was feeding them I didn't notice it at all but a couple hours later I saw the little one...

@tracischeelk29
@tracischeelk29 5 жыл бұрын
How often do they hide in the woods and/or hide their calves. Is it necessary to know where their calves are? I am raising money for land now. I want to raise this breed of calves. I"ll have live-in help. I'm a single female with neuro-muscluar damage. I'm quite weak. I can walk, but not too far or too many times. Must limit my exertion or it will knock me down to nothing. I'm determined to have a self-sustaining farm and looking to make things as low labor as possible. I plan to have protecting and herding dogs, fencing, etc. I'll likely have Permaculture fencing that I'm not required to move the fencing to move them. One property I am looking at is 120 acres pasture with over 200 acres woods. I"ve heard the bulls can turn mean reacting as he mentioned here or the mothers being very protective. Is it easy enough to avoid if they react violently, or do they chase you to attack you?! I also heard in one video that one processing plant said they wouldn't process because of the horns, that this added too much to their operation. Is it easy enough to set up an operation on the land? I'm really excited about doing this. I just love Highlander Cows. My friend was shocked that the cows stay outside all the time. I think it gets to -20 F where I will be moving. I haven't decided on the land, but this is roughly the lowest temperature. Does anyone have any comments on any of this or how many cows per acre, and how difficult is is to have 150 cows versus 40-50? It would seem to me that increasing from 50 to 150 really wouldn't be much different of a workload. Is my logic correct? I also wonder about separating the bulls and how difficult it is to expand through breeding. If I am going for four generations to get to 150 or so cows, do I have to separate all generations from lineage on both the mother and bull's side? I don't expect anyone to answer all. I'd love for anyone with experience to comment on this or other. It seems to me that Permaculture Animal farming is easier and less labor-intensive, as well as maybe more profitable than most crops, even if I hire certain aspects of it, like the butchering or special tasks. These cows are so majestic. I am absolutely wild for them. I feel like they are long lost friends or family members reuniting with, through my German and Norwegian history.

Traci Scheelk no one answered back. I guess you start out small. Don't be in too big a rush to get big. Seems like it might be too much but I don't know. I have movement problems too. You should try volunteering on a homestead to see. People can do more tha others think sometimes. :) hope you are doing well in these times.

Congratulations! She is Beautiful! I remember seeing my first Heifer born when I was in 3rd grade 7 or 8 years of age. Freaked me out, I was a half mile from our home and all alone. I ran all the way home to tell my mom and ask if she needed to call someone? She laughed and said that is were cows come from.
