[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1112782, member: 18945"] You'll just have to price land in the area you choose. It ain't going to be cheap anywhere. Decide what you can afford, then look at how many animals that acreage will support. Look at the cost of heifers or bred cows is going to cost in that particular area, and go from there, but you also have to figure cost of fencing, shelter, and at least what the care and feed cost will be for the first year. Mostly what you need to do is a lot of reading and talking to real farmers ranchers--especially on the ground--in that area. County agent is a good place to start. You can't beat face to face information no matter how good magazines or the internet is. Don't go in to this blind and un-informed--it's trouble enough even for people who have done it for years.
