[QUOTE="allisonr, post: 1290633, member: 24362"] I agree with cowboy in that there are too many unknowns to get a solid answer. Thats also the first thing you're going to have to learn when it comes to cattle; expect the unexpected. Things aren't going to go great at first. But if you are smart about it and layout a plan, know your goals, organize it and make sure everyone is on board with it (I'm talking about your grandpa or whoever may be helping with financials, labor, etc) it will go a lot smoother. Also; don't expect a solid salary. If you want one of those, get a 9-5 job and then do the cattle ranching as a hobby, not as a job. Once you've established the ranch and it is successful enough to pay the bills plus provide you an income, then you can switch from your other job to farming full time. I've seen both sides of farming, full time and hobby. Both are extremely taxing and are not for the weak; but if you are passionate enough about it and willing to take on the burdens, the return is priceless. Good luck to you! [/QUOTE]
