Hi
Considering getting a house cow. Don't know much about cattle. How tame are yours and have you any that suits the bill. Do yours live out all year round? Basically what do you feed other than grass of course and how much. What do you reckon it costs to keep one on a weekly basis and it needs to be small as I'm getting too old to grapple with anything big.

Hi Kaz,
First of all, yep mine are out all year round, they have natural shelter and trees to stand under, they are on grass 24/7, they finish on that here as we have loads of the stuff here!
;Dthey have no nuts or hay and are quite happy with that
so weekly cost so far is nothing, mine have from being born to going to slaughter, 2 wrmers and one lot of pouron fly deterent, i have got some cracking small heifers, due to calf next year, none of them however have ever been tied up or haltered, but with them still being young i cant see as this would be a problem
i have got some registered but the best are the unregistered ones of mine, and if your only keeping for pleasure and not for showing i'd recommend you go for an unregd one as you could pay alo more for the regd ones
I hope this helps, i'll pm you with my number so if you want to call for a chat you can.
