This depends on how much money you need to open. Starting a cattle farm gets pricey, so most people need help. If you wrote a business plan, you will know how much money you have available to get land and supply your farm. Borrow responsibly from people you know, lenders, or banks. Speak with agricultural and small business organizations. Many of them can direct you to more reasonable loans than what you would get from banks. Bring your business plan with you. It increases your chances of getting a loan. Remember to start small to avoid overspending. Many farmers continue doing other work until business picks up. Unless you have a decent amount of savings, you will need to invest in a down payment, loan, or mortgage to obtain the land you wish to buy. It's important not to overspend when you're starting out. Keep your expectations modest at first and make sure the land is sustainable before you purchase it. Land prices increase in areas of high population or high demand. Compare land prices across different areas and keep an eye on how many cattle farms are in each place. To save money, try buying an existing farm. Many places already have facilities and fencing laid out for cattle, which saves you some of the work needed to convert the land. Another option for beginning a farm is to rent someone else's land. You may be able to find landowners who can't farm the land themselves or aren't willing to. Find a stretch of land thick with grass where you are able to create pastures and build housing for your cattle. Bigger areas with better soil will sustain your farm as you expand it over time, but you may not be able to afford them without a loan. Plan on needing about 112 to 2 acres (0.61 to 0.81ha) of pasture space per cow calf pair per year. Factors such as climate, seasonal variances, local cattle markets, regional vegetation, and topography differ from place to place. These all affect your farm, so select your location carefully. The amount of pasture space you need may vary. Fit more cows onto limited space by providing more hay. Rotate pastures frequently to prevent overgrazing. Many areas have agricultural extension offices that help people begin and maintain a farm. Ask them any questions you have. In particular, find out how the land was used previously, what type of soil is in place, and what vegetation grows naturally there. They will also be able to tell you about the demands of the local cattle market. Find out if the land is suitable for a pasture or a range. Rangelands have natural vegetation for grazing animals like cattle. Pastures require seeding, irrigation, and mowing to be sustainable. Speak with your neighbors as well. Many farmers are open to visitors. Even commercial farms have open days for the public. These people often know the land better than anyone and will provide a lot of useful information about beginning a farm.

Fill a measuring cup with 1 cup (237 ml) of whole milk minus 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 ml). Next, add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of fresh lemon juice or white vinegar to the milk. You can substitute 2% milk or heavy cream for the whole milk if you prefer. After you've added the lemon juice or vinegar to the milk, use a spoon to mix the two together. Be sure to blend them well so the acid is fully incorporated into the milk. Once the milk and acid have been mixed together completely, allow the mixture to stand at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes. That will give it time to thicken up and curdle slightly so you'll have sour milk. The recipe makes 1 cup (237 cup) of sour milk. However, you can easily halve, double, or triple it based on your needs.

One-sentence summary -- Pour the acid into the milk. Stir the acid and milk together well. Let the milk mixture sit for at least 5 minutes.

Measure your milk into a saucepan. Place it on the stove over medium heat. Stir the milk frequently to make sure it heats evenly throughout. You need a thermometer to measure the milk's heat. Pour the vinegar and lemon juice into the milk. Use a spoon to stir the mixture together a couple of times. The ingredients should be just combined.

Most states have specific requirements for a learner's permit: a driving student must have completed a certain amount of written driver's education, and (in some places) some hours at an accredited driving school as well. In most places, a learner's permit allows its holder to practice driving during specific times of the day, and in the presence of an older licensed driver. It's totally natural to be nervous about teaching your child to drive. If you're tense and snappy throughout the process, though, your teen will sense that, and it will not reflect well in their driving. Do your best to be kind and calm, especially if you're naturally a nervous driver. Be aware of your body language as well as your words. If you sense yourself balling up your fists or tensing your shoulders, try to relax them. Remember that your child has a learner's permit; they already know quite a bit about the mechanics and safety of driving. You don't have to recite the Driver's Ed textbook at them. You only need to help them practice. This is a classic for good reason. With plenty of space and no one to get in the way, a parking lot is a great setting for low-pressure lessons. Plan to have your first lesson together here on a clear, sunny day. Try to avoid doing this in the cold--ice has a way of making an easy lesson difficult. On your way to the parking lot for the first lesson, point out to your teen what you're doing, and why. Are you accelerating? Why are you stopping? Who has the right of way at this intersection? Stop the car, remove the keys, then switch seats with your child. This may be their first time behind the wheel of a non-driver's-school car, so give them a moment to adjust. Encourage your child to start the car. Pick out a nearby marker (like a trash can or light post). Then tell them to drive in a straight line in the direction of the object, then stop. Next, have them try reversing a few feet. Encourage your teen to circle slowly, both clockwise and counterclockwise. Then try making corners, instead of smooth circles. Even though there's no one else in the parking lot, make sure your teen is using the turn signals. Be careful not to do "doughnuts" (tight, skidding loops): they are dangerous, and you and your teen could get in trouble. Driving can be stressful, and a long lesson will wear on both of you. Try to cap your time at fifteen or twenty minutes--you can always come back to practice later in the week.
