[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 729359, member: 7645"] You grew up on THIS ranch and you need us (I have never even BEEN to the Nebraska Sandhills) to tell you have much you can clear per cow on it?? and how much income you need for you and your family?? I need more information to actually be able to make a recommendation for you; but clearly you don't have enough knowledge at this time to do this. How much did you and yours actually spend in 2009? Include taxes, including the FICA your employers paid and insurance (life, health, home, and auto). Don't ASSUME that you are going to suddenly make a bunch of cuts of things you have never cut before. IF you lived off of $30,000, divide that by $100 profit per cow, then you need 300 cows. Multiply that by 10 acres per cow and we come up with 3000 acres. That is probably the BEST CASE scenario. Change that number to Caustic's pathetic but believable $52 number and I come up with 577 cows and 5770 acres. Change your lifestyle to $50,000 and I come up with 962 cows and 9620 acres. Then you have to borrow the money for the cows. The bred cows I want people got priced at $1200++ each. Lets say you shop around and find somebody willing to part with a put together herd for $750 each. 300 cows would be $225,000 at that price. For a five year note expect to pay ~$340,000 for that money or $68,000?? a year. The cows have to clear $327 to pay for your minimalist $30 g lifestyle and pay the note on them. I won't even calculate numbers on 962 cows because no bank will give you that much money without putting up land. [/QUOTE]
