[QUOTE="stocky, post: 91635, member: 1150"] bdog, what part of the country are you in? the reason i ask is i am wondering how much rain you get. i posted earlier as to my liking alot of your plan except my concern is the initial cost of the animals and the risk of the market going down---to me, a high risk initial investment. in your last post, you ask what i would do if i had 3 acres and a chance to buy 1000 bales of a dollar each----if the hay is good and if the bales are tight and especially if they are net wrapped, i know what i would do in sw missouri if i was in your shoes with just 3 acres-------i would buy the entire 1000 bales at 1 dollar per bale and move them onto the 3 acres and wait until snow flies next dec-jan and sell them for anywhere from 10-20 dollars per bale. even with the huge hay surplus this year, small farmers were paying 10-12 dollars for year old hay here. to me, that is a chance to make at least 10 times your money in 10 months without the investment of the high price cattle and the risk of loss. here, you could sell 10-20 bales at a time all winter long for 15 dollars per bale average---that is a pretty nifty profit [/QUOTE]
