Hello, I have been thinking about buying a few Beef cows to let free range on my land, one will be for my family and the other two I will be selling off to finance more projects. What type of cattle will do the best for this type of feed program?
Thanks for any help or pointers!

| If you are planning on just letting them graze on the range I would suggest buying them from a local rancher. Also you should think about how you are going to corral them for when you want to sell or harvest them. Also for range try and get cattle that are medium framed they will finish better on grass. |

Thanks for your help, I am going to drive down and talk to one of the local ranchers today. I also found out about a small farmer conference coming up in our area so I hope to learn alot from those folks. Where in Nevada? I’m out in the Battle Mountain area, and the conference is in Fallon on the 8th - 10th |
