How To Raise Cattle - 6 Quick Tips You Can Start Off On Raising Cattle

Many people nowadays see the potential of raising
cattle and have sought out numerous books,
guides, and instructional materials on how to
raise cattle effectively for profit. If you're
one of these cattle farmers or cattle
enthusiasts who is planning on setting up his or
her own cattle farm, it is important that you
have a very clear objective as to what type of
cattle you're going to raise, how much are you
willing spend/invest, what your available
resources are and how you can cultivate them,
and the like. Before anything else though, it is
important to know what kind of cattle you will be
raising before learning how to actually raise the
animals. Are you planning on breeding and selling
beef cattle, dairy cattle, or grass-fed cattle?

For this article, learning how to raise cattle,
particularly grass-fed cattle, is going to be
the focus of the article for several reasons.
First, raising grass-fed cattle has many
benefits on the part of the farmer, one of which
is that it is cost effective and the cows are
normally easy to handle since the staple food is
the grass around them. If you have a ranch that
is filled with good greenery, this type of
cattle will surely do you well. On the part of
the consumers, grass-fed cattle give rises to
some of the top meat since they don't have any
growth hormones in them, the cows are usually
stress-free, and collect many nutrients from the
food they eat. So if you are well-equipped and
have learned how to raise cattle then you will
surely benefit from your herd. To begin with,
here are a few tips on how to raise cattle:

- Before learning how to raise cattle, make sure
to look and select cattle breeds that thrive on
grass.
- Once you have your starter herd, always make
sure to provide fresh grass and legumes for lots
of nutrients.
- If you recall it necessary, you can add on the
cattle's food with plant proteins. Remember that
cows normally need 11% protein in their diet.
- During the late summer season, you can add
starch protein since plant proteins drop during
this time.
- Cows can become ill once in a while, so when
this happens, provide antibiotics that are of a
low level to avoid any health problems for your
cows.
- When feeding your herd/s, rotate pastures in
order for the cattle to constantly eat fresh
grass. You can also send out chickens (if you
have) while the cows are grazing to help
fertilize the area.
