FREE LIVE MASTERCLASS WITH KAROLINE
What You Actually Need to Know Before Buying Cattle
The things I wish someone had told me before I bought cows.
You don't need to own land. You don't need a tractor. You don't need to have grown up ranching.
But you do need a plan.
You don't have to be ready to buy. Next year or five years from now, this is where you start. You'll leave with a clearer picture of what kind of cattle operation could fit your life, what you can afford, and what your next steps need to be.

60 minutes, live, plus time for your questions. We'll look at real cattle together and I'll ask what you would buy, which is why there's no replay.

What we’ll cover
Five questions to answer before you buy your first cow.
What are you actually trying to build?
1
We'll start with the dream and work backward.
2
Where will they live and what will they eat?
You do not have to own a ranch to own cattle.
3
Can you actually afford the cows?
The cost of buying the cow and the cost of owning the cow are two very different things.
What cattle should you buy?
4
We'll look at real cattle and you'll decide what you would buy.
What are you going to do with the calf?
5
Your marketing plan should start before you buy the cow.
You want cattle someday and don't know where to start.
You don't own land or equipment and figure that rules you out.
You didn't grow up in agriculture.
You already bought your first cattle and are realizing there are pieces you wish you had figured out sooner.
You're nowhere near ready to buy and want to know what 'ready' even looks like.
This is for you if…
Why show up live
We'll look at real cattle together and I'll ask what you would do. Bring your questions.
There's no replay. And if you decide to keep going afterward, there's a bonus I'm only sharing with the people who are there live.
This masterclass is free and it stands on its own. At the end, I'll tell you about First Herd Foundations, my course for building your full plan, in case you want to keep going.
Hi, I’m Karoline
I got my first heifer at 13 through the NILE Merit Heifer program, after applying two years in a row. The next spring I calved out my first two heifers. Today my husband and I run about 90 pairs, selling weaned calves every fall and a handful of bulls every spring. I learned a lot of this the hard way. I'd rather you didn't have to.
Pick a time. Bring your questions. Leave knowing your next steps.
