That's another part of why I don't take advantage of the "deals" the FSA offers, I don't care for the idea of government programs, so I don't feel right being apart of them.cross_7":gyegicdt said:No way
The new American way
Get a big loan, homestead it, file bankruptcy, vote democrat, get on every government program you can and sit in the shade and watch the ignorant people run the rat race while you live like a king.
I have started with cattle on my own over about the last 10 years, was not rich and not born into it, and I know how you feel I have been there a lot of times, I also know that land prices vary and it may cost more wherever you are, but I know for a fact it can still be done without being in debt till you die.ZMT":3nxvnvh2 said:It's almost close to impossible to acquire land unless you're rich or born into it otherwise your in debt till you die.
That is about an ideal plan, as long as you can find the land to lease.ZMT":umovidgo said:Yea i know with hard work, some luck, and lots of prayers it can be done. I think a guys best bet is to just build his herd as big as he can using leased pasture and working a job on the side and just saving as much as possible.

I'm going to disagree. Get a job. Live on less than you make. Put money in the bank every year. Buy cattle when you have the money and can afford them.
There are other ways to go at this cattle deal. I promise you.
