[QUOTE="jdot, post: 714990, member: 13226"] Owning cattle is alot like owning stock in the stock market. Yes there are certain types of "stock" that involve taking more of a risk when it comes to losses, but in the same breath let me say this, usually the more risk you take the more you will profit. Not saying this holds true 100% of the time but for the most part thats how it goes. As for factoring in things such as fences, deads, sickness, feed, vaccinations, water, mineral etc..... all of these factors, factor in, no matter which operation you choose. If you own them, they will get sick, they will need a vet for good times and bad, they all need fences, feed and water. Don't let those who are not willing to take a chance discourage you from doing so. This is a great place to do some research but don't let the ranking of the posters sway you. I personally run a small cow/calf operation but I am considering changing that next fall?? I guess that the moral to my story is, do your homework. (looks like you are already doing that) Follow through with your plans and be honest with yourself. In the end check the numbers and see what works for YOU. :tiphat: [/QUOTE]
