[QUOTE="midTN_Brangusman, post: 1832894, member: 23858"] I think 300 to 350 is very doable and shouldn’t take more than a couple hours a day if structured properly. I’m currently running 6 loads of steers a year, app. 420 hd. Other than preconditioning it’s a part time job. I think the key is to what you mentioned. Contracting work, buy all your hay, hire all your fencing and spraying( although I do my own). Unrolling a large round bale per 50 cows a day or possibly every other day and feeding a few cubes to supplement and keep them gentle shouldn’t take but a few minutes. I would highly recommend Gordon Hazards book if you haven’t already read it. He ran 1800 steers on 3000 acres and his main complaint was there wasn’t much to do. [/QUOTE]
