    Just curious as I've no idea. Do people farm cattle with no land/grass just a shed? I don't mean specifically here, just in general? Is there any ventures exist that begin with buying cattle, put them in sheds, buy fodder and cattle stay there till sold/factory? Just wondering. Cheers

    Should have said this guy sells to the mart not the factory. So everyone can see his lovely animals.

    Hes leaves it off in his brothers place id say. Hes bound to be making a loss. He might have 8 r 10 cows that he calves himself. He would buy the odd exceptional calf here and there. Pump um full of nuts and sell as weanlings.
    All wud b sold as weanlings.
    Spose tis just his gra that he has for um.
    Expensive hobby id say.
