[QUOTE="JSCATTLE, post: 869057, member: 16648"] I keep my cattle and my hay bailing seperate ... I grew up around and working cattle. Mostly my grand pa s and neighbors ... About 10 years ago I bought my own cattle after my grand pa died.. for the past several years my cattle check has paid my land note .. its only 200 acres .. but I lease 800 acres. I usually bale 150 acres for my self. And several places for other people ... In 2 years I paid off my baler from custom bailing..my cows eat fertilized hay .. unless in a drought.. no cubes etc. I can usually sell enough hay to cover fertilizer and fuel .. I also have a construction company.. but that money doesn't go into the cattle ... This year I'm down from 150 momma cows to 60 .. and might sell more.. I've also kept 30 hiefers. I'm not sure you can make enough just running cows to make a living .. but you can do several things to make it.. I'm hoping when I'm 60 I can retire and have 200 acres and 75 cows tractor etc in the clear.to supplement my retirement... [/QUOTE]
