[QUOTE="simme, post: 1730375, member: 40418"] Pretty sure this family started from scratch, no family land or money involved as far as I know. The wife is from my county from a hard working good family, but no silver spoons. Started in the mid 90's and now run 1400 cows and sell over 400 bulls per year for a pretty good average. I think their success is about planning, working hard and willing to take some risks. Not about luck or good fortune, although that may have played a role. They have developed some other business interests as well, but those came after the cattle success. For my whole life, I have always heard that young people can't make it in farming if they start with nothing. And that is true for many people, but not for everyone. Any business venture has risk with the possibility of failure, including farming and cattle. I think the successful probably treat it like a business instead of a hobby.
