The white one is the bull, dark brown on the left is the mom. The other 2 are heifers. So yeah, they are a different breed than what you are used to seeing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAMBUSA Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Um.. because they taste yummy?? Is this a trick question?? Am I on the radio??These are too valuable to eat, otherwise a few would already be steaks;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAMBUSA Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Sam' date=' is this what you do for a living? Raise cattle?Or are you independently wealthy and just like having cows around?[/quote']The cattle and the sheep are just a hobby and help teach the kids responsiblity.I dont actually work for a living. I have a job, but I wouldn't call it work:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAMBUSA Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Wow. Over do it much? My dad just got us a puppy when we were little. You could have saved some serious bank' date=' brother. Next time you have a 'great idea' run it by me first.. okay?? [/quote']Uh, we also have rabbits, ducks and guinea's. Let me explain a little more for ya Paulie. We gave my daughter a ewe. She helps take care of all the animals but when that ewe has lambs in the spring, we sell them once they are weaned. Usually get around $500 for 1 lamb. Our daughter gets every dime of that money. Make a little more sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAMBUSA Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 That's good stuff. I guess I need to talk to you instead. We keep getting new animals but we spend money so they can't breed and nobody ever gives me money for caring for them. You're doing it wrong.

SAMBUSA Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) Story of my life' date=' bro!! No joke. [/quote']We dont buy anything that we can't get a profit from. Rabbit go for 15-30 each. Ducks go for 15 each. Doesn't seem like a whole lot but it adds up. The cattle go fo a little over a grand/head.Hell, we just drove 1100 miles to get 2 ewe lambs to add to our farm but they will pay for themselves the first time they lamb.

SAMBUSA Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 The cost for care and upkeep doesn't exceed those amounts? That seems rather low to me. I'm intrigued... They are cheap to feed and easy to care for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAMBUSA Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Lyns and I need to ride up to your place and scope the setup. I'm definitely liking what I'm hearing.Take the rabbit's for example, the wifey has the cost to feed each one every month along with any other expenses that there may be.
