ok the situation. im in my last year of highschool and study rural operation and ag science.
my family owns a 40 acre farm. my dad grows veggies on the place and sells to the wholesaler
i have some cattle out there , not that many, but numbers are slowly growing.
is it possible to run a decent cattle bussiness in this scenario, at first for an income that may pay bills, fund some farm equipment for the future, and hopefully with time expanding. Note: it would be treated as a secondary income for a while until built up enough, but is it possible ?...i have the tractor, the implements ect, all the fences
My plan
basicly a small cattle farm which can supply its own feed
our property is organic and certificates back that....
growing organic forage corn as feed, choping it, storing it ect along with pastures which will be improved eventually.
also using sprouting fodder as feed
selling organic steers.... i cant be bothered typing it all up but look forward to your thoughts and any questions you want to ask , thx
