Discussion: Let’s Talk Cattle! 🐄

[BYH Project Manager]

Cattle can be such a big part of homestead and farm life, whether you’re raising them for milk, beef, or simply because you love having them around. Some folks enjoy the rhythm of daily milking, others love the satisfaction of raising grass-fed beef, and for many, cattle are a cornerstone of their self-sufficiency goals.

But along with the rewards come plenty of challenges, too. Managing grazing, handling fly control, keeping them healthy, and even just understanding their personalities can be a full-time adventure. One minute they’re calm and content, the next they’ve decided the neighbor’s pasture looks more interesting!

So let’s hear from you:

• What type of cattle do you keep (or plan to keep)?
• Do you raise them for milk, meat, or both?
• What’s been your biggest lesson or challenge in caring for cattle?
• Any funny or unexpected cattle stories to share?

Your insights and stories can really help others who are just starting out or thinking about adding cattle to their homestead.

What’s life with cattle like for you right now?
