Check into raising them years ago, they are easier to raise in the sense of more diease resitant, being a "wild" animal, will break ice to get at water, and move snow with their heads to access feed. Their meat is fat content is like turkey, and has to be cooked at lower temps. Also hypoallergic, no case of anyone being allergic to them ever found. That being said, they are dangerous, have a picking order in each herd that they are constantly changing. A calf that today will be like a puppy around you the next day will push against to determine picking order. If you push against they come back stronger. Know of one owner/handler whose pet calf gored them because of this instinct. You need to put up shelters for you to hide in the field with. Someplace safe for you to get too if something goes wrong. Remember they can run up 35 mph, jump six feet, and lift a tractor off the ground with their horns/head. They are also smart, regular cattle grates and gates dont work. They will walk across them, need to install rollers on grates. Need high tensile fencing for them. Also market fell on them a few years ago. That being said, a beautiful animal and wish I could raise one or two in the pasture.
