Re: Cow Cattle Farm

As you wants to start the Business of the Cow catt5le farm let me tell you that the There are various reasons why a person might want to raise cattle. Some raise large herds to sell, others, in the case of dairy, raise them to sell their milk. Many raise cattle to show in fairs and other local event

for your business here I am giving you some business Ideas that are as follow :
1
Make a business plan.

Do a SWOT analysis of yourself and the cattle industry you will be entering.
Plan what kind of cows you want without looking at any breeds, and what kind of farm you wish to operate.

Locate the area where you want to raise cattle for the next
Once you've made a decision where you want to start up, find land that is up for sale.
that you may need to invest in a down-payment, a loan, or a mortgage for the land you wish to buy, if you do not have enough money to pay it off within the year you buy it.

Find out more about the land location you are interested in.
Contact the local extension office for that county to get more information on previous use, soil type, vegetation, stocking rates and carrying capacity for pastures (tame grassland) or rangelands (native grassland), cattle market demands, etc

Research then purchase the type of facilities,

Equipment and machinery necessary for the type of cattle you have chosen to raise.
Analyze your operation and your financial situation to see what you need (not what you want) for current facilities,

Determine the type of cattle
. The most popular choices are dairy or beef. Keep in mind that starting up with and raising dairy cattle is much more time consuming and costly than with beef cattle, and there will be more equipment requirements for dairy than beef as mandated by government regulations.

Start off with a handful of cows.
Buy good cows, ones that have great conformation, temperament, mothering ability and forage convertibility (among other things), and avoid those that look thin and are close to breaking-down.


Determine the amount of pasture
that will be required for the breed of cattle that you have selected.
Decide whether the land you already own is sufficient or if you will need to purchase or rent additional pasture.
