[QUOTE="u4411clb, post: 1085542, member: 17248"] If cattle were no where in the picture would you buy the land? If the answer is yes then buy it if the answer is no and you are buying land for the sole purpose of raising cattle, 1st I would say go talk to an accountant and then a psychiatrist. If the land is a good investment on its own then buy it and the cattle is a plus. If you can find land in a good location for a good price like I said it will help your family eventually whether it be you or your kids or your grandkids. Leave the little rascals 30 or 40 acres which by the time they get it they can either put cattle on it or sell it and do your own estimate on how much they would get at that time. Probably enough to pay for all of their college educations I would guess. I have noticed allot of fancy horse places up there around Murpheesboro. Nothing like seeing a couple with a Virginia or California license plate pulled over on the side of the road checking your place out with a fancy horse trailer behind their truck. You know to raise the price $20,000 + just for that. Kidding about the last line. And I also agree on keeping a sharp pencil when raising cattle. I just believe in land as an investment. Some believe in stock market (I do think stocks should be part of your investment too) others in gold I think over time if it is the right buy land beats them both but that is my opinion. So if you are looking for an investment that you can also get enjoyment out of and the satisfaction of fixing a place up and watching it transform and get to be out doors with and hopefully make a little money and keep yourself young and active with then go for it. If buying it is all about the cattle I would honestly rethink it and move out farther from the city and get a bigger place and move there and start a cattle operation. [/QUOTE]
