I just purchased a house with 4 acres of current farm land. My son wants to get involved in 4-H as well as raise cattle. once i fence in the three acre pasture and build a shelter, could i possibly hold 2 or more head to produce market calves. im just looking to break even and maintain the agg exemtion as well as facilitate his 4-H development.

Steve it just depends on the quality of grass you have and where you live. Get in touch with a county extension agent and have them look at your land, they should be able to help. If no, find an old rancher in your area and ask for his advice.

Welcome, Stevo! I think Isomade gave you great advice.
I am located in Mercedes, Texas near Brownsville. The pasture is currently a working farm so there is no grass at this time. I do however intend to plant something local to the area as well as suppliment with hay and feed. Im still about a year from my first purchase, just trying to learn as much as i can. thanks to all for the great advice.
