Leasing questions

[tncattle]

My thoughts were to put about 8-10 steers or heifers or a mix on there for about 4 months and then sell them locally as grass fed beef . . .

Now I'm no expert on this, but I was thinking I'd heard that you don't finish-out calves on fescue because it gives the meat a bad taste. Looked like a lot of fescue in those pictures, but then again I could be mistaken.

Good luck to you and yours tomorrow.

I think it is mainly Fescue but I guess it doesn't matter now :lol: Also, is the height of the grass too tall to put cattle straight on and graze. Thanks for the good wishes!

Wow, what a difference a few hours make. I called the guy again and he told me he had drained his wife's bank account to buy this land/home. I said, the real estate agent told me you were just leasing and not buying anything. He proceeded to fly into a cussing rage on the phone saying I went over his head and he would never lease to me, blah ,blah etc. Well, he is probably still cussing as I just hung up on him in the middle of his phone tirade laughing. This was a blessing as he was onviously lying his tail off to me. I think he thought it will probably be hard to get someone to put cows on land he is leasing already. He is right, although I still would have been interested if he would have been honest with me. Again, a blessing and the guy was a nut on the phone. I wish I hada been there in person to confront him cause I guarntee his attitude would have been different. Oh well, a crazy day and our 3rd child is going to be born tomorrow morning at 10:30 C-section. Just pray for healthy mama and baby.

Wonder why he needed to lie about it? Some folks.... Sounds like you didn't need to be doing business with him anyway.

We'll be praying for healthy baby and a healthy and happy momma. We've got 3 kids. You know, with 2, you and your wife could play man on man defense. Now with 3, you'll have to switch to a zone. :)

Zone, that is a good one! :D

Here is the latest. The real estate guy called this afternoon to thank me and said they were not going to lease to this individual after what I told them they had also found out a few other things. Short story, the guy has told everyone involved a bunch of lies. I just knew something wasn't right about this guy, guess my intuition is better than I thought.

If the place is up for sale, why not just buy it?

It's just for lease but I've already inquired about buying and haven't heard back from the agent. I'm pretty sure it will be out of our price range but you never know. Also, the house is smaller than where we live now and we just added a new baby so that is an issue as well. It does have some big positives so I'll pursue it and see what happens.

You should, can always add on to the house, congratulations on the new baby by the way. Hope you find a place soon.
