[QUOTE="Bez__, post: 1138559, member: 22126"] Tough part of the world to raise 30 cows on a quarter Need lots of infrastructure and lots of feed You will be feeding for 7 months minimum and sometimes 8. Unless you have a big budget or lots of time off I would start with something established first - takes too long to get going on a part time basis up there. Ever price out fence up there? And posts? And how you going to drive them? Time and money are your enemy in that part of the world. The next time you drive over the Dunvegan Bridge near Fairview Alberta you will be within 5 miles of my old place - so I do have a bit of a schmick about what I am saying. Not interested in getting into a prolonged discussion about this as it is a common topic - but you need to get your ducks in a row and plan on spending far more than you think just to get ready - and you better have the hay ground to back it. It can be done - but you are going to need far more than your quarter section to do it up there. Cheers Bez__ [/QUOTE]
