[QUOTE="Lbass, post: 1581504, member: 38465"] My general rule around here is. "Cattle can pay for themselves or Cattle can pay for the land, but they won't do both." Easiest way to break into cattle farming for me was to rent the land, take out a cattle loan, and work in town. I always kind of thought stockers would be the way to go so I didn't have to deal with them in the winter, but I don't think my nerves could have handled owing money on them knowing if the market fell my day job might have to cover the difference. It's also hard to work in town and find ground to rent. You just don't have the ties to the farming community to find the farms or the reputation for someone to take a chance on you... but money is persuasive. [/QUOTE]
