In this video I walk through how we manage 35 head of Dexter cattle throughout a typical year. This includes: How much land is required per head to graze and provide hay, Our breeding schedule, How long it takes to grass finish beef going to the butcher, How we separate our 2 breeding bulls and make sure they are placed with the right cows to prevent inbreeding, The pros & cons of keeping bulls vs. artificial insemination, How we keep stable herd numbers via the selection of cull heifers, Note: -We do not offer farm tours -We do not ship our farm's products Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Just-a-few-acres-farm-187074114794963/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justafewacresfarm/?hl=en To order Pete's book; "A Year and a Day on Just a Few Acres:" https://www.amazon.com/Year-Day-Just-Few-Acres/dp/149549957X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2NM8AQPCG3IT5&dchild=1&keywords=a+year+and+a+day+on+just+a+few+acres&qid=1587327049&sprefix=a+year+and+a+day+on+just%2Caps%2C183&sr=8-1 Sat, 25 Apr 2026 12:38:34 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://stream.echo6.co https://stream.echo6.co/client/assets/images/icons/icon-512x512.png https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/b1a6e96d-6ec0-43b1-b613-7a215fd72d7a All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://stream.echo6.co/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
