Farming Cattle - 4 Simple Methods To Get Started in Raising Cattle

Much like the Facebook application, FarmVille,
farming cattle can be quite a chore for farmers,
since they need to spend all day tending to their
cows. This is done alongside tending to other
animals such as sheep, horses and other
livestock which are either used as food or sold
as goods. In the application, the farmer (which
would be the Facebook user) uses money earned
from harvesting milk from dairy cows and getting
meat from beef cattle to buy more farm equipment,
for farm expansion, and to meet other needs that
the farm may have.

To avoid the fuss associated with building a
farm for cattle, farming cattle can be done in a
few simple ways:

1. Know which kind of cattle or breed of cows is
needed. There are over 800 different breeds of
cattle, which are categorized into taurine
cattle, the zebus, and the hybrids;
2. Have enough money to buy every housing
material, equipment, and feeds needed for the
farm;
3. Build fencing for the farm, either using wood
or steel, and using electrical wirings to trap
out any unwanted visitors; and lastly,
4. Have enough money to buy the cattle, whether
beef or dairy cattle. Since the cost of
livestock is multiplying, it is cheaper to get
them by the bulk than buying them one by one.

Knowing which type of cattle through the type of
feeds they eat is simple. Grass-fed cattle are
most likely the best type of breed for cattle
since grass is easily accessible around any
farming lot. Other than that it is easy to
acquire, and easy to grow. Grain-fed cattle
require fresh grain crops such as corn and other
crops, which also provide other nutrients needed
by the cows, especially if they are milking or
beef cattle.

A basic farming requirement when learning on how
to raise cattle would be stalls that separate
different breeds of cows - that is, those that
eat hay and grass from those that require more
sophisticated feeds - and fences that secure the
whole area of the farm. Containers, pails, water
supply, and feeding beds are needed to complete
the farm and for you to start farming cattle for
mass production.

Learning how to farm cattle shouldn't be
difficult if farmers have gained experience
through previous farming work, and have
experience working with animals. A basic
knowledge about the cows' lactation processes,
when to tend the herd, when to feed and what to
feed, is essential to have a successful farming
cattle business. Improved ways of farming cattle
have already been developed to meet the needs of
farmers worldwide and many farmers have found
alternative feeds and means for keeping their
cattle healthy and well-fed.
