I’m looking for a farmer that I can call to talk with.
I am looking to farm a herd starting out with 10 does. I have looked at just about every type and size of farm. Everybody does it differently and at different levels.
Recently I’m evaluating using live bucks as a primary method of breeding for our program. I realize the pros and cons of this, but would really like to have a long conversation with a farmer with similar methods. My ultimate goal is to enjoy the process of farming. If I make a little money or break even I will be happy. This method seems to allow for less stress and more happy times.
Being new, I like the idea of live breeding because it is much less involved with a much lower learning curve. This would be a great way to introduce myself gradually to the industry.
Similarly, I will be leaving both does and bucks on the mother the first year. I know bottle feeding is best for many reasons, but are there any farmers who don’t bottle feed? Would love to chat with you.
Basically I am looking at stripping down much of the typical farming methods and going with a very basic, hands-off approach. [SIDE NOTE: I plan to eventually AI and bottle feed, so I have nothing against it]
