Cattle farming can be a pleasurable and profitable business if you know what you are doing. It is not as easy as conventional crop farming and can sometimes require a lot of hard work.

If you are raising your cattle with the intention of selling for profit then you just need to make sure that you breed lots of healthy young calves.

Dairy farming and Beef farming are the main business venture when it comes to raising cattle. As long as you raise strong healthy herds there is always going to be somebody looking to purchase your stock.

There is always a good market for herds of Beef or Dairy cattle that you can raise on your farm and then sell on.

The only way that you can be sure of getting top dollar for your herds is to make sure that you look after your cattle properly. Feeding your cattle with the right type of feeds will make them grow big and strong which is always a pre-requisite for any farmers looking to purchase new cattle. If your cattle grow to the correct size and weight then farmers will know that they will produce the best quality dairy and beef.

It is not just a simple case of feeding your cattle properly. You must make sure that your cattle do not get sick. If your farm should get hit by an epidemic it could wipe out the whole herd and leave you in big trouble.

As long as you have your cattle checked and vaccinated regularly they should grow strong and healthy. The healthier your cattle when you come to selling them at the auctions, the better price you will receive for them.

You may even manage to pick up some cattle from the auctions yourself at a bargain price that you can raise on your farm.
