[QUOTE="neilo, post: 6518335, member: 348"] We had a neighbour back home that took on some adjoining grass keep (we had the other half, weren’t ever allowed to improve it, and it remained absolute sh*te for the 30 years we took it). Much of his was steep ridge and furrow, covered in old grass and buttercups, in a hls but cheap. To stock it, he bought a ruck of Angus x dairy heifer calves when they were about a fiver each, reared them on, then ran an ‘easy calving type’ (cheap) with them. They never had much attention, ate rubbish, made 500kg (max I should think) cows but reared some belting cattle every year. With Angus x heifers being cheap again now, would that make a better option than expensive, imported cattle? [/QUOTE]
