[QUOTE="SF, post: 151763, member: 1171"] Case IH Don't know of any fast quick way. But the cattle business like any business, is a "business". Treat it as such. Be creative, look for ways to be more efficient and profitable. For example, cows will do pretty well on their own. You don't have to pay someone to go out and check on them every day, not even once per week. I have cows that I'm only able to check on one per month, sometimes more like once every six weeks or so. A friend of mine runs about 2000 head of cows, he checks on his about every month to six weeks. He says the cows have to work too. Mother Nature designed them to live with minimal interference from us. Oh by the way, he makes way more than the $100 per head average that most folks like to tout. Anyone who invests the funds to raise cattle and doesn't make money, plan to make money, and/or doesn't believe they can make money are already rich and are simply doing this for a hobby. Ignore them. Don't listen to what they say. These people plan on failure. Ignore their statements on this and most subjects. I realize my words are harsh on this subject, but it gets quite annoying to constantly hear "wannabe" cattlemen constantly tout how they don't make any money in the cattle business. Why do they keep doing it? They say they don't make any money at it, but yet they keep doing it year after year. Go figure. I'm sure I'll catch lots of flack over these statements. Just because you don't like what I say, doesn't make it less true. [/QUOTE]
