[QUOTE="cowboy43, post: 1549983, member: 10124"] After reading all comments my first thought is: how will you make a living to pay your bills, you will have to have an outside job to pay your living cost and be prepared to put some of your outside income into your farming operation. If you get married that a whole new ball game. All ventures mentioned are labor intensive and demanding. Cow- calf operation is the only one that will let you work off the farm. In all reality with a 500 head cow operation you will be lucky to make minumin wage or a little more. 500 head with a $50 profit per head = $25000 profit per year. Do not give up your dream but get an good paying outside job and start off small and learn by making mistakes . I do not know anyone in the cattle business (unless they inherited it all or were born with a silver spoon in their mouth) that does not have an outside job to support their addicition to ranching. :cboy: my :2cents: [/QUOTE]
