Self-Reliance: How do you?
-
Welp, I’m getting into livestock this weekend. Going to pick up three bred cows in the morning. Just picked up some fencing materials to build some temporary paddocks. I plan to strip graze these girls at a pretty high stock density to get a good graze and manure load. My main goal for this is native pasture and soil health. It has been a long time since this property has seen a grazing animal. Looking forward to learning new things and to the source of meat! My little boy is going to love it too!
RafterW Sounds like you better go get yourself a 10 gallon cowboy hat son! Have you got yourself a registered brand yet?

Tex_77 A long way from a brand lol. I don’t even have an ag tax exemption yet. Paid taxes on my fencing materials and mineral tub today!!

Tex_77 this was a pretty spur of the moment deal lol. I have a good friend who is downsizing his herd, due to drought and cut me a deal I couldn’t say no to.

RafterW All you have to do is fill out the form to be tax exempt!

Here are a couple of the cows that I picked up. They are 5ish year old Corrientes that have been bred with either angus or simmental. We have three cows, hoping for two calves in September. If any of the cows do not calve, I will cull them. The more research I do on butchering mature, grass fed cows, the more comfortable I’m getting with the idea. If it tastes anything like elk or deer, I will be pleased. It’s interesting to look back on my viewpoint and how it has changed on animals, how they are fed, treated and handled and what kind of proteins I want to feed myself and my family.

Jonathon Ya I would probably agree. I mean if RafterW was anyone off of Yellowstone he would be Jimmy.

Tex_77 Jonathon I wish I knew what you were referencing lol. My wife and I may be the last people in Kansas who haven’t seen any of the Yellowstone series.

RafterW from the picture I do not think that they are Seminole the bone structer is not large enough for that breed but it is hard to tell

craigrice correct. They are full Corriente. They should be carrying calves from either angus or simmental bulls.

RafterW congrats and good luck on the calves.

Tex_77 yes he did. Taylor Sheridan has created some great alternatives to the regular Hollywood shizzle. He is doing OK for a Texan

PapaSop Jonathon I do not watch much television, so I’m picky. If you decided to watch it, you really need to watch it from the beginning so it makes sense. I watched it the first time near the end of season 2 and was not that impressed. I went back to the first episode and it made alot more sense and is a pretty good show. If you do not like the great outdoors, violence, and cowboy stuff, then don’t bother.
