Buy 2 young calves and feed them out. You can either sell them at the auction when the get big or finish them out and have them butchered. Don't let the kids get attached to them hard to sell them but harder for them to eat them.

Just how old are they? How old is too old to feed cows?

Around these parts it's not uncommon at all to see gentlemen in their 70's taking care of a large heard such as feeding. Every now and then you will see a few in their 80's. After a stint of a few decades in the suburbs, I prefer Krogers and HEB.

Thanks!

I was just curious how old Rescue1’s parents were since they are too old to talk care of a couple of cows on two acres.

We raise Aberdeen Angus for the past 4 years. They are small frame cattle, very gentle to work with and also provide heart healthy beef. Much easier to handle than the larger framed cattle and very efficient on converting feed to beef. Ours are grass fed but I know a lots of folks do a combination of grass and grain. Drop me a pm if you'd like more info...

Hummmmmmmm

Run it like a feed lot. Pour the feed to them until they are ready to eat. They taste better than grass fed beef.

I believe you need to start with the right breed of cattle, what you put into your beef is what you get out so quality grass makes a huge difference as well.
We grass feed and ours have been very tasty...
