[QUOTE="Bez+, post: 714282, member: 6797"] Are you prepared to lose the money if the price goes south? Seems everyone thinks the profit is there automatically. You also have to factor risk, drought, fences, time and the return you could get from renting the land out and investing your available cash. Your numbers do not represent a lot of other things - but you can search for yourself on that - here a just a few to start you out. You do not tell us your experience level and you do not tell us if you are a cash or credit guy and you do not tell us what your plans will be to recover from deads and disease - which you WILL have. You do not tell us how you will fix problems with health or with deads and you do not have any mention on what you will do if grass runs out and you have to sell early. You do not tell us where the stock will come from. You do not tell us if you are prepared to spend more money if you have to hold them or will you sell at a loss - which people are sometimes forced to do. I would re-do those numbers before I stepped in Any answers you got right now are based upon you being an experienced person - maybe you are and maybe you are not. You have a lot of holes - yeah, a lot - that all need to be filled in - otherwise we would all be doing this on a bigger scale if it were as simple as you have made it look. Best of luck - do more homework. Cheers Bez+ [/QUOTE]
