[QUOTE="canoetrpr, post: 282489, member: 4892"] We think that renting out our barns/pasture will probably fetch about $400 per month or so. I don't know what that would net out to after a few expenses - fence up keep, insurance and so on... maybe $300 per month to be safe. That is $3600 per year. Realistically - I'd say that this would net out to little if any as it would just be a reason for me to do silly things like go and buy a manure spreader so that the manure pile from mucking out the stalls does not get too big and so on. Regardless - we're not really thinking about either of these options for money so much. No one is about to turn down a bit of extra money though :-). I suspect that the horse option will come out the winner if it is about money - just a guess. This is really about enjoying the experience of living on a hobby farm. Ideally something that would break even (not accounting for my time which I would spend for free) would be great. Realistically what do you think having Highlands would COST (after the initial investment)? I figured that the cost of hay, fence upkeep, vet bills would probably be met with the yearly sale of a steer or so. Am I far off here? [/QUOTE]
