[QUOTE="504RP, post: 1700157, member: 40335"] Don't think what you described is going to make any profit. Sounds like a good way to lose alot of money quick though. Growing up 50 years ago my family and most other families done the butchering hogs, saleing pigs, potatoes for $ 10 a hundred, raised chickens for eggs and butchering. Leasing land hasn't ever worked out too good for me either. Now I can winter 30 pairs and 2 bulls on less than 15 acres along with a half dozen horse's only because i haul hay in to feed all of them through the winter. Disagree with you about all it takes is want too. If it was a really good 70 acres and had perfect weather conditions to cut and bale hay ??? Was going to say you might hang on to the 30 head and two bulls for a year or so until drought hits or something else happens where you have to get rid of them because you can't feed them. Probably end up saling them for killer prices. You take young people or even old people who don't know nothing about cattle or farming in general that goes into something like your describing. All their going to end up with is an exspenseive education on what not to do again. You can usually spot thoes kind of people around here. You find a 70 acre pasture and what cows are on it looks like skeletons with a hide drooped over them. They have eat the grass down to dirt. They are learning that all it takes attitude is a bunch of bull ****. [/QUOTE]
