[QUOTE="MissouriExile, post: 470639, member: 6430"] When folks started out (someone mentioned 1907) they may have had land but chances are they were short on everything else. Need a well? Here's a shovel... get er done. Need a fence? That's where all these 70 year old hedge posts came from, cut a branch, dig a hole, insert, repeat until done. Short of winning the lottery the only answer is to start out small, take the long view, slowly build up a quality herd, and take the long (very long ) view. Even at 60 years old and just starting (small) I am planning for the future. Wondering if I can ever swing an extra 40 acres. Perhaps I will have something special to leave behind. Call it farm, ranch, or plantation, it doesn't matter. Anyone here got something better to do? Jon [/QUOTE]
