Hello everyone!
I am 27, a 1st generation rancher (or at least in the making), and I just purchased *my first ever home* sitting on 5 acres in the middle of SC peach country.
I purchased my land with the intent of buying cattle, and collecting my. future bulls for profit.
Is this a realistic career goal? How do I pick the perfect bull? Biggest question, how do I start?
Side note, I understand that I will be OOP in the beginning process, and profit will come after the work I put into my cattle/bulls, I just don't know where to start.
I have a strong passion for livestock, cattle - homesteading. I grew up with horses, I rode for a few years. I have already made friends with the local cattle, the owners own them for game, so they weren't able to give me advice on where to start with my own cattle farm.
All this to say, I have worked so hard to get here and I need some advice from you all. Any advice, mentors, books, reddit holes, or starting points would be immensely appreciated.
Thank you for reading this far, I look forward to connecting with you all and Happy New Year!
