EP: 426 Raising Grassfed Beef What You Need to Know

Join me as I continue on in this Homesteading 101 Series (Back to the Basics). Today’s episode is all about the basics of raising livestock, and I’ll heavily focus on cattle. If you’ve ever wanted to raise your own grass-fed, grass-finished beef then this is the podcast for you. I’m giving you all the basics you need in today’s episode, plus many links for additional resources.

Yes, part 2, please! Thank you for covering this topic.

ever had 2x ton bulls want to friendly rub (sometimes in opposite directions, try this while holding 5 gal buckets ... now you have a problem)

Where the ranch is is very determinant of location. I had over 350 head, maybe small (but an efficiency of 1.5 acres per head. For myself this included needed hay ground) I got to know a rancher who managed between his own and the BLM, nearly 5 million acres ... now the kicker was he could only stock 350 cow-calf pairs
