[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 869418, member: 6291"] There is no perfect recipet. Every body has a different situation so for every one "how to make money" is different. Also people have different goals for what they want out their cattle... maintain the land, cash flow, grow as an asset, ect... Here are some of my thoughts off the top of my head. If you cant pay cash you cant afford it. You have to be able to keep good books. You have to have paid for land, seperate the land as an investment from the cattle, or be able to lease some good produtive land. You have to forget the idea that because you own cattle you must have a tractor, diesel truck, goosekneck trailer, or brand new working pens. Make friends and try to get bulk discounts or car pool when you can. Although hay rings, hay barns, trailers and other such items may pay for themselves over time. They do you no good if you go belly up before that time. Keep a very healthy savings account. In years with less than average rainfall you should have extra grass. That is normal. It only takes one drought year to whipe out 10, 20+ years of so called "money left on the table". You calculate what you spend on cattle based off what they earn. Not try to make the cattle earn what you spend. [/QUOTE]
