[QUOTE="El_Putzo, post: 77693, member: 1017"] I'm definatley a hobby farmer. I own 5 acres and 4 heifers right now (Hey, everybody's got to start somewhere, right?). My wife and I both have day jobs and I am trying to get started in the Hereford seedstock business. I actually keep my heifers on my dad's place down the road, as I am still in the process of fencing my land. I will probably keep them there the majority of the time and bring my potential saleable cattle to put in the pen at my future residence. Anywho, my 2 brothers and I are going to be buying my dad's place in the coming years, but even then, I will still be a hobby farmer as there is no way I could make the kind of money off that farm to support the lifestyle that my wife and I lead. So, yes, I do it for a tax write off, I do it to make a little extra money, and I do it for enjoyment. But I think the most enjoyment will come when I am able to raise quality cattle to sell to others to build up their herds. That may be quite a while (10-20yrs), but I would have to say that is my main goal. [/QUOTE]
