[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 469769, member: 6291"] I would maybe look into at hiring a hand to take care of the place (may not be an option in that area) over leasing. Here you can get an all-out cowboy/ hand for $2K a month and that is to take care of 1K-2K ac. Also, if you can find day hands or some one in the area that is full time on cattle already(retired, what ever). It probably wouldn't be too hard to bribe them to take care of your cattle also. Most people are doing it because they enjoy cattle... they already know they aren't going to get rich. Good facilities and such along with incentives (maybe giving them X% of the yearly earnings) also help in attracting people. 250ac and only 25 head... good grass and cross fenced seems low. IF you could get those head numbers up it would justify the helper alot more. If your lucky you can get the place to self-sustaine until you are ready to come back. Even if it costs you a little every year,,, the end result would be worth it. [/QUOTE]
