[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 743973, member: 4362"] With an investment in land of that acreage I think a tractor would be essential not only for the cattle but also for the maintenance of your property. Like many businesses you have to invest in infrastructure till you build a workable operation. I think there is a chinese proverb that says a long journey always begins with one step. You gotta decide if you want to go on the long journey and it sounds like you have made that decision as many of us have. That said, "how I do it" is this. Instead of looking at how much I'm "expecting" to make each year on the cattle I look at my net per head. Each time I think about buying a bag of range cubes, mineral, fertilizer etc I try to figure how many calves its going to take to make this purchase. I'm also like a rat and will jump at the chance to barter, scrounge or do whatever to keep my maintenance costs as low as possible. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
