[QUOTE="DNelson, post: 1810300, member: 42080"] I'm not familiar with Brangus calves as we raise Angus. I found that calves are experts at going through the fence, so dont get cheap on the number of strands of wire. If you have shelter with access to fresh water and a feeder you have a good start. the quality of your pasture after brush hogging will determine if you need supplemental feed until the pasture produces. your local area may have weeds or browse that can be a problem for calves. check with locals on that. Like someone mentioned, 10 aces in your area may not be enough to raise the three calves to market weight and supplementing feed with hay can be expensive and limit any return on investment. If you are raising for your own beef consumption, you may be competitive with the final costs versus buying beef at a retail store, however you will know what you are eating. [/QUOTE]
