[QUOTE="plumber_greg, post: 743522, member: 9115"] Part of what to ask yourself is, "If I own $150,000 worth of cattle, what interest rate does this have to return me? What can I get in a saving account at a bank for that amount of money? If I invest in the stock market, is it safer than owning the cattle?" Anytime there is risk in an investment, there is a greater chance of return as well as a greater chance of loss. How many of us lost 75 percent of the value of our cattle in the recent, ongoing, recession? It's not all about what it costs to raise the calf. Like was said, what return can we get on our land if we didn't own the cattle? Even an investment in 3 head can use the same figures. What is wrong with my statments? Let me have it. gs [/QUOTE]
