Raising livestock

[Rob Tucker]

I have dealt with cattle before on our dairy farm. We milked sixty cows twice a day every day. That was in Connecticut. So I am not a stranger to farming.

Here I am thinking of running beef cattle on 20 acres of grassland I own. In this climate I don't expect to bale hay. I do wonder what the tropics might offer in the way of risks I can't assess. Curious also as to how many head per acre this area supports.

Thanks everyone for your comments. Keep em coming.
