[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 425051, member: 6291"] I am also the guy at the bottom. Cows had better be self sufficient and self sustaining. They will get grass, mineral, and water. I will be the first one to plow up native grass and plant coastal. The extra head you can run will pay for the grasss. BUT alot of this other stuff that people talk about on here are not profitable or the profit is so low it is not worth the time. If you were to make a graph of time invested in cattle VS cattle profit you will see. Right of the bat your time and profit will go up pretty quick as long as you have cattle that will produce calves and sell. But as you go on you will notice your time still on a very steep climb,,, but your profit, although rising, it is starting to flatten out. You start noticing that it takes two or three times the amount of time to get the same early on profits. At what point do you stop? People have this misconsieved notion that the more they invest... the more they will profit. :roll: That is not the way things work a majority of the time. Cattle require a few necessities. The market will only pay what they want to pay. You will likely not see a return on your extra time and money. [/QUOTE]
