[QUOTE="shortybreeder, post: 1201161, member: 21626"] Well, first of all the location. He mentioned buying some land in northern MN and clear-cutting to make a pasture. I don't think that's a very good idea because there are very few farms up there and nobody's going to want to ship their cattle ~5 hours to a backgrounder. Also, depending on how far north you go, you could have snow 8 months out of the year which means 8 months of buying grain from who knows where (not many feed stores or corn growers up there). However, I would be very interested in a custom raising/backgrounding operation if it was nearby (southeastern/central MN) because I don't have the facilities to raise heifers separate from my cows unless they are being raised for showing. I was also going to suggest he look into Thousand Hills Cattle Company [url=http://www.thousandhillscattleco.com/]http://www.thousandhillscattleco.com/[/url] because they take in special cattle and raise them on grass, but they buy the calves up front and direct-market grass-fed beef.
