...What are your goals for the cattle?...
That's a tough one. We are probably looking at 4-5 acres that we'd fence off into 2 small pastures, and rotate the cattle and whatever other 4 legged critters my wife wants. As we've transitioned to our farm, we're taking everything pretty slowly, and trying not to overload ourselves from the start. Most of our 95 acres is leased for cattle and hay, but that could certainly change at any time. Hay's so cheap down here, one's just never sure when a win, win situation will change. If that happens, we want to be ready to go.
A good quality meat for us, and a few cattle to sell and pay for that meat is probably all we would want.
