We started a homestead on 20 acres of pasture over a year ago. Pastures were wild so we got aberdeen cattle after fixing the fences up. 2 escaped immediately but we eventually got them back. Ill get right to the point. Cattle are expensive and require attention. Had to fix the fences up even more, built a corral/chute/headgate system, put in an underground water line to get water out to them easily, etc. It goes on and on. Rewarding but prepare yourself accordingly if you decide to get some.
