[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1795717, member: 498"] I have a rancher friend who says you need 300 to make a living. But if you have 300 you need a hired man to help so you need another 100 head to pay the hired man. It will vary greatly depending the area and conditions. I have done 100 and had a full time job. Expand out the pastures to be able to run 300 and eliminate the day job and running 300 pairs would be a piece of cake. My neighbor B runs 1,000 with 1 or 2 hired men. For a while with only 1 hired man. He doesn't sleep much during calving season. Takes one man pretty much all day to feed. Same man irrigates and does hay all summer. Second man assisted with feeding and calving during this time of year. And builds fence and rides during the summer. [/QUOTE]
