The first two months took a long time because we had to bottle feed the calf twice a day and it took 15 minutes each time. After they're off the bottle, it's only time intensive if you don't have a fenced-in pasture. I move my steer around our lot on a stake (he's 10 months old now) so that takes a bit of time, but not as much as it used to. If I had a fenced-in pasture with a water source, it'd only take 5 minutes a day at most (to feed him some grain). You could keep a steer in a barn, but then you've got to keep buying hay (or using whatever you can make yourself). Thanks for your comment, Bruno!

Could you please breakdown why this all seems so time intensive? I am a father and I have 10 acres, but don't have too much time. I would love your input. Thanks, This is cool.
