[QUOTE="aplusmnt, post: 175902, member: 1399"] I figured there would be a wide range of answers as there has been. Seems around here anyone that has between 100-200 cows also have a full time job. Seems like if the figure you hear of an average of around $200.00 per cow profit was made it would take over 100 cows to keep you from qualifying for food stamps, and welfare. I know some can live on less than others. But hard to picture anyone raising a family at the poverty level. I would think a good managed herd of 300 could make a living that would support a family. With that number getting smaller as a person gets older and kids move out, and things get simpler. [/QUOTE]
