[QUOTE="No Rest Farm, post: 1398266, member: 26716"] You are correct, I don't think 100 cows would provide a living every year. My end goal would probably be 200-300 cows or some kind of combination of cow calf and finishing beef to sell locally. My wife is a wedding photographer and does fairly well at it. Another idea we have floated is actually doing a rustic wedding venue on the farm at some point. I'm also thinking of getting the orchard going again and using that as a source of income as well. We live a pretty simple life and really don't need a lot of income. If it wasn't for my house payment I could probably live on $20,000 a year. We grow our own beef and a big garden. We trade beef with neighbors for other things. The end goal is a simple way of life much more than making a lot of money. If I can sit on the front porch with a cigar and a beverage I'm completely happy. As far as the land I think my in laws want to sell me their land a bit at a time so they have the money to enjoy retirement. That suits me well, it keeps me from having a lot of payments. I've owed them money before and it's all done out right on paper. Never had an issue and we get along really well. I have no concerns as far as them ever trying to start a fight over any of that.
