Since all the Hobby, full-time rancher debate. I am curious how many cows does a person need to have a chance at making a decent living? Say an income above the poverty level.
I know there is lots of variables, but just for the sake of average, lets say they already own all their own land paid for. Not it is just about management and production? Are the full-time guys living on 100, 200 or 1,000 cows?
If you are not full-time, at what size herd would you quit your day job and concentrate on cows only? Assuming all the infrastructure was their for you to do so.
