[QUOTE="Bez+, post: 601840, member: 6797"] See this question so much - folks want to do it and figure they can - truth is they cannot and will never on small ground do this with livestock So, hate to rain on your parade Nope. Not enough return per animal - if you even see a true return. If you managed to get 50 animals through your place - which by the way would push your expenses way up - and you actually saw a profit of 100 bucks an animal - do not plan on it - plan on 10 - 30 today - if you are well managed and have the experience - you would only see 5 grand. I bet you see a loss for your first three to five years. Not enough cash flow to sustain your place - even at top profit margins and it would take away from the veggie market you have going Chickens is your best bet for a place that small - livestock will kill your wallet - it pays out once a year - chickens provide cash flow - big difference Bez+ [/QUOTE]
