Looking for advice on starting out with cattle. Recently purchased 160 ac about 50-60 in old fields where mesquite has grown up close to 4' in some places. About 100 ac or so in hills and cover. Has 2 barns, 3 tanks and about to drill a water well. Fence is decent but old cross fencing in poor shape. Has real old looking pin with what appears to be an old homemade chute.
Looking for advice on how to start out, idea of the level of management that they will require and upkeep. Will it be problematic that my day job has me living 2 hrs away from the property? Got 2 young boys that I want to learn the value of hard work and to respect what the land can provide.
Thanks for your help and advice.
