[QUOTE="talltimber, post: 1281748, member: 22236"] That's what I'm gonna try to do. I've only been at it coming up on two years, so I've been trying to keep things in perspective as to what prices could be. At the same time, I'm trying to get things setup now with the money calves have brought to not have to buy anything I'll need later, lights in the old barn, possibly a scale, installing more waters I got bought cheap, etc. I'm thinking my next calf crop (third), if I'm fortunate enough to get any raised, will clear my line of credit for cows I bought two years ago and last summer. Plan is to start keeping heifers next year. I'm at half step now, hopefully be at full cap. in '19 (35-45 hd) after implementing at least some resemblance of rotational grazing. My Dad and Grandpa told me if you're gonna be in the cattle business, be in the business, don't be flip flopping in and out. Get you a core herd and hang in there. Sock it back or buy equipment when you can, and tough it out when you can't. [/QUOTE]
