[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3492200, member: 26737"] FWIW, my brother has been doing the same thing, raising a few head of livestock to put meat in the freezer, eggs on the table, and milk in the fridge. I know he did a lot of research before they started, so I'll ask him what he recommends. (My folks both grew up on farms (in eastern Oklahoma (gasp!)), but Mom didn't want anything to do with livestock, so we had a lot more experience with tractors than cattle.) You do need to pay attention to the business side of things; even if you don't want to make money on it, you do want to make sure you don't end up spending $10/lb on your own beef when you could've bought it at $3/lb (I'm just making up those numbers as an example).
