[QUOTE="MoGal, post: 193304, member: 1346"] You probably won't get many posts as its not "successful". Mom and Dad tried that with his brother and mom/dad never saw the books on the cattle. Uncle would bring in/out cows (some didn't know how to stay in and we spent our time chasing em down or fixing fence). Upshot was Mom and Dad bought out his half a year later. If you can't afford your own, then lease the pasture. I have it good compared to those in Vermont. I only pay $7.00 per month per cow or $7.50 per month for cow/calf pair. My heifers were $6.50 month until they got to 650 pounds. I purchase my hay from the guy I rent pasture from. The heifers went through one round bale (stored inside, $30) every 9 days and the cows went through one round bale (stored outside, $20) every 6-7 days. I pay my board on them 3 months at a time (in advance) and the hay monthly. I'm up there every day, so I know whats going on with my critters. I'm there to help them with all the cattle (whether they are mine or not) anytime they need it. I may need to bring my cows home for a couple of months ( I have six acres) as the guy I rent from is all excited about fescue seed this year (gonna be 50 cents lb) so he's wanting his pastures cleared so he can cut fescue seed. So if you have fescue pasture you might wanna think about having the seed cut from it before you pasture it. But as far as co-ownership, I don't think it will work. Whatever you do, BE SURE to put it in writing signed by both parties. [/QUOTE]
