Hello this is my first post on this forum. I have a few questions about raising cattle. I plan on trying to homestead in the future and I am interested in raising miniature breeds of cattle for personal use and not for selling the meat or the milk because of this I want to raise maybe 2 or 3 cattle. My biggest concurn is my familys safty and im concerned if i get a bull it will try to charge at one of us. I have never been around cows more then just a hour or two.
My Questions:
Will i have problems milking the cow if i keep the bull in the same paddack? I want my wife to be able to milk the cow without the bull charging at her.
If i get a bull do i keep it with the cow and calf year round?
If in diffrent paddocks can the paddocks be right next to each other?
How can i prevent the bull from attacking my wife and young children?
When I decide to get cattle what breeds would you recommend? I have a family of 4 and plan on milking and beef.
