[QUOTE="Hawk, post: 26345, member: 114"] I'm not sure about exactly what type of help you are asking for. It would seem to me that your best bet would be to team up with someone in your area that is already doing what you are wanting to do, and learn from him. A good mentor who is willing to work with you is the best way to learn. A couple of general items for thought 1. get your facilities (pastures, fences, barns, working pens, loading chutes, etc.) ready before you bring the cattle in, 2. If you are planning on leasing the adjoining property, execute a legal lease document, 3. Raise the type of cattle that are already doing well in your area, 4. Control your expenses. Don't do anything to impress the neighbors, do things because they will help you make money. This board is a good resource for getting information on specific questions, it is not so good at getting help on broad, general questions. Lots of luck. I fully agree with your feelings about keeping agricultural land out of the hands of developers. Around my neck of the woods we are losing farm land way to fast. [/QUOTE]
