[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1816031, member: 5381"] Of course you can't make money on cattle alone you silly fools but if you consider the tax exemptions they give you, its pretty simple to make a decent return on the land they run on. The 175 acre tract I bought 12 years ago for $1750 per acre is now worth at least $7000 per acre. I have put about $40,000 in improvements on the place. Probably be worth 10 grand a acre if I would spend the $50,000 more to get electricity to it. Pretty good return on my investment I would say. I have yet to see a year when land prices went down.
