[QUOTE="Bigtmiller, post: 636178, member: 9977"] Hi, My name is Tom. I graduated Penn State with a degree in Animal science back in 94. I worked on several cattle ranches and feedlots during the ninities, like TC ranch and Darr Feedlot. Well I got out go the cattle business in 98. I now work for Smithfield foods in the meat business. I really want to get back into cattle again. I now have the financial means to get started, but have several hurdles. My two problems are currently do not have any land, and secondly travel with my current job every week. So, I was thinking of trying the following. I know several cattle producers in the area. I was thinking of approaching them to see if I could run say 5 to 10 head with their cattle for a fee and weekend help. Does anyone else do this? Is this a good idea? What should the fees be? I want to get back into pure bred Angus again. My goal is to eventually buy some land either in Iowa or Nebraska. But I figure if I can get started building a small herd now, that would put me further ahead. what do you think, Thanks, Tom [/QUOTE]
