Right here I go, I'm 19 years old from Ireland looking at starting back up the family farm in, some may say it's simple madness but I want to make a go of it if. it's not going to be my fulltime job, what I have is 90 acres with no current livestock(currently on lease to a beef farmer) fencing in order and adequate roadways. What I want to know of ye is what would be the best beef enterprise. My current plan is buying strong bull calves of dairy farms and sell em at around 19 months. how would u recommend to start. How much calves should I buy the first year?,should I sell a few of them at 3months a few more at 9 months to keep a steady income? Or am I going down the wrong route.
Have a bit of patience with me I'm only trying to figure it out I dont want the hassle of finishing cattle. Thanks in advance for any replies
