Beef Production for Small Farms

Gene Pirelli, Shirlee Weedman-Gunkel and, Dale Weber (January, 2000)

Summary

For people who own land but work full-time off the farm, a beef enterprise can be the least labor-intensive way to utilize their land. A cattle enterprise can use family or surplus labor. Calving, weaning, vaccinations, castration, and weighing can be planned for times when labor is available.
