[QUOTE="SmokinM, post: 1455860, member: 21382"] Most here run on leased land myself included( I am not a big operator tho). Can't afford land to buy it so you have to find someone that has invested in land or inherited and is smart enough to let somebody else take care of it. Lease rates here are cheap and stocking rate can be decent, the problem is finding land that isn't tied up already. Usually fence is total junk if they give the lease up. Hard to get long term written leases as well. Mostly gentlemans agreements and most of the time we are gentlemen about it. Grain farmers got real aggressive for a few years but low grain prices have leveled the playing field some. Big places tho they still keep tied up so all us cow guys get are little places spread out. As for profit, if you make it here it is on leased land, extreme profit is if you grow something other than cattle. I however am to pretty for jail so I don't grow it. :cowboy: [/QUOTE]
