[QUOTE="Texan, post: 43043, member: 416"] JB, before you get too involved figuring the numbers required, since that can be so variable depending on management, I have an idea to share with you. Adjust your idea of what is required for your living [i]downward.[/i] Way down! I don't know what you would consider a comfortable median between the $25K and the $100K, but I can nearly assure you that its too high. I can't even imagine somebody who does this for a living having an income of even $30K. Anybody will have a better chance of making it work if they can make it in the $18K to $20K range. Or less. Also, don't use today's inflated prices as a basis for your figuring. If you figure 80 cent steer calves and 60 cent heifers, it will keep you from having to go back to town to work when the market gets back there. And it will. [/QUOTE]
