[QUOTE="DavisBeefmasters, post: 724710, member: 2263"] Here's a thought... use the 40k to buy a place with a little land -- say 5 to 10 acres... continue working - the wife will start working... raise your first steers (I recommend 2 -- 1 for you, 1 for somebody else) -- they always do better in pairs. Repeat the next year and year after... Sit tight for a couple of years until the market rebounds and you'll be able to trade that place for one with more land if you want to and the kids are ok with the whole process of raising an animal for the freezer. We started on 4 1/2 acres about 10 years ago with no fencing, 1st year was fencing and facilities, the 2nd year was a couple of steers --> we're now on 107 acres and raise our own cattle, pigs, chicken (egg laying and meat), turkeys, vegetables, etc. Now if we can only figure out how to finance some solar panels and a generator we could go completely off grid. Good luck to you and you'll find a way if it's what you want to do. [/QUOTE]
