[QUOTE="Beef11, post: 436709, member: 2705"] Why is land always figured into a startup cost? Ranching doesn't require buying a ranch with a big house. I just saw a place for sale around here 2 mill it runs 200 cows that is 10k per animal unit to buy. That means if you clear 300 per cow (good luck) you have a 3% return. Go get a CD. There are very few places where land can be bought by cattle. In a startup situation you can handicap your venture very quickly buy spending all of your money on overpriced waste ground. If you want to invest in land you might be on the right road. Simply Land and cattle are seperate investments and should be treated as such. If you have land paid for (good job) it doesn't make your cattle more profitble it makes your land more profitable. Give credit where credit is due. Cattle, Land management. [/QUOTE]
