[QUOTE="customcattle, post: 1382554, member: 23133"] I have posted about something similar in the past, but was wondering if I could get some help in answering some questions about running beef cattle in Minnesota. First off,I currently manage an 80 mother cow, cow/calf operation in Nebraska with my wife, while we both work full time jobs on the side (haha). My wife is from Minnesota and has wanted to get back up there, and I have been very reluctant, but we were presented with a potential opportunity over Thanksgiving that kind of got my wheels turning. We went and looked at a place that could run around 200 head. We would have to take loans out on the land and the cattle, and it just doesn't pencil having to do it that way. What I was wondering is if we were to just buy half of the cattle to stock the place, and offered a custom care situation for a (or multiple) other producers if there might be a demand for something like that, and also what people would be willing to pay for that. We would offer 100% year round care of the cattle. I know in Nebraska that the going rate is anywhere from $1-$2/day/head. Any input is appreciated. Questions again: 1. Is there a demand for full time care in the state/area? 2. What is the going rate for this service there? [/QUOTE]
