[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 2864"] No doubt those of us who do it without special opportunity are doing it because we love it. Some people look at me funny when I tell them raising cattle is my hobby (while they expected golf, fishing or hunting etc). I hope to build this hobby up to 300 head so it can be more than a sideline. At the current rate it will happen in a few years. If any read the Old Testament, a man's wealth was measured in land and cattle. I'd like to think that it can still be measured that way. It just depends on who you ask. After all isn't money really just a piece of paper with some ink on it? Just a thought. Merry Christmas. > At a TAMU short course a few years > back they told us that it would > take 500 head of beef cattle to > net about $35,000 per year.
