[QUOTE="ollie', post: 138078, member: 2432"] Jeremy, in my opinion you usually have to look at land as a seperate business from cattle. There is no way the profit off cattle will service a debt on the land it takes to run them on. If you are trying to turn a profit then you almost always have to own the land or rent. If you are borrowing the money on land , cattle usually won't pay the interest on that large of a sum.You will have in the neighborhood of 9000.00 worth of interest on the realestate alone. If you borrow money on the cattle of course you will increase the amount of interest owed. On a ten year span , nation wide, the average [b]profit[/b]per cow will be around $100.00 per head. If your realestate will support 30 mommas as you suggest then you have to put $300.00 per calf toward interest alone. That Jeremy is a money looser. You still havn't bought fertilizer, feed or hay, vet supplies , bushogging , etc. If you can afford it land is a good investment in most areas of the country. Just don't try to make cows pay for it at $4000. per acre. [/QUOTE]
