From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Cattle (colloquially cows) are the most common type of large domesticated ungulates. They are a prominent modern member of the subfamily Bovinae, are the most widespread species of the genus Bos, and are most commonly classified collectively as Bos primigenius. Cattle are raised as livestock for meat (beef and veal), as dairy animals for milk and other dairy products, and as draft animals (pulling carts, plows and the like). Other products include leather and dung for manure or fuel. In some countries, such as India, cattle are sacred. It is estimated that there are 1.3 billion cattle in the world today. In 2009, cattle became the first livestock animal to have its genome mapped. From Wikipedia under the

But if you are serious, find out who your county agricultural extension agent is. Meet with him (or her) and they can tell you the right way to get started in your area. As well as what types of hay, feed and medications you will require. Answered by kmerian - Tue Jun 12 08:01:01 2007 What is the best way to get started in cattle ranching? Q. My parents have a 350 acre ranch. They have only had it for 2 years and aren't living there full time. My dad currently leases 23 head of cattle.

Consider a specialty crop for restaurants (Belgian endive or asparagus etc). Consider large commercial hen houses raising chicken for the commercial chicken business. If the business is cattle and only cattle, your family is going to need to sell 200 head of cattle a year in order to stay afloat -- does your dad have the land for that?

Best to ask at a local seed store. Local people are the best resource for questions like yours, because in part, it depends on where you live (e.g., Florida, Hawaii or Alaska). Something called "cane grass" does well in and Australia, but I don't know whether it would do well where you live, and I don't know whether it is tasty or nutritious for cattle. (Some grasses are more "fattening"). Where I live, wet lands are difficult to keep as pastures because of the other plants (e.g., rushes and sedges) that come in and crowd out the grass. The young sprouts of the rushes and sedges are sometimes eaten by cattle, but the tougher, older shoots spread to take over the field. Also, with seasonal flooding, some of the grasses can die.
