[QUOTE="skyline, post: 500145, member: 5305"] CB, that is a high compliment to someone - coming from you. I guess I have known all along that it would be tough for someone starting out from scratch to make a living at this, considering all the costs such as labor and land, but it is really sinking in that it is impossible (unless I'm missing something). I think I've seen you quote that you net around $60 per momma cow per year, but that can't include land cost or your labor. And just think, the good folks eating beef don't have a clue how subsidized the cost of beef is by the ranching community. So we're not even appreciated by the consumer! [/QUOTE]
