[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 712847, member: 8978"] Probably getting a job first to get experience and find out if you like it would be good advice, but if you intend to just jump in then I would suggest start out small and try to keep costs as low as possible. Right now the economics of most livestock operations are pretty poor, but if you are young and starting out it might be a good opportunity to buy in at low prices. And if you find you don't like raising cattle or the profits are so poor you can't...all you are out is some money...and you can always get more money, but you will have gained an experience and probably some business education in the real world! It's called living your life? I have spent my whole life raising cows. I can honestly say I enjoyed most of it and it has been a very good life. There are so many good things about living in the country and growing things, whether livestock or crops or kids... I think it is good for your soul! The fact of the matter is this: We all quit cattle sooner or later...some by design...some get carried out feet first...its how we live and enjoy our life that matters. [/QUOTE]
