[QUOTE="customcattle, post: 1189312, member: 23133"] We have had the most luck finding places for sale in central, north central, and east central Minnesota. I have done some research on the beef industry in MN and found that most producers are smaller and produce less than 100 head, probably mostly due to lack of pasture resources. I guess my assumptions when we started looking into this were that there would be a demand for an operation which would provide the service of care and the grass/feed in order for producers to get more gain on their cattle at a reasonable cost. My opinion that a cattleman's reputation lies on the quality of cattle that they are producing, and if a producer is able to market a higher quality product and sell private treaty to commercial or private feed lots with cattle that are coming closer to market weight their profits would be higher and they would be able to build a business relationship with those feedlots which are looking for high quality cattle in order to maximize their profits as well. Again these are all assumptions I have and we all know what assuming gets you, but if I can get a return buyer on my cattle year after year then I know that my profits are going to go up. Again please correct me if I'm wrong in my assumptions and any input is greatly appreciated, and thank you for the replies thus far. [/QUOTE]
