[QUOTE="darcelina4, post: 1598604, member: 27059"] I think you need to get a mentor farmer to get advice along the way. Spend many hours sitting watching at the salebarn so you get a feel for the cattle that do well in your area. You also get an idea of how big the cattle are, docility or not, prices, ect. Then decide what is your end game- what do you plan to sell to get money to keep going or to get out. Decide on your time frames for breaking even or making a profit. Is it realistic? I dont mean will this work only if the stars, sun, and moon all aline. You have to figure in some death loss, illness, vet, higher feed cost, farm repairs, gas to collect everything. People make money with cattle. You need a realistic plan, the means to carry it out, the stamina to carry it out, and the sense to tweak or abandon the plan if it is failing. There isn't shame in failing, just in failing to plan, or failing to try. [/QUOTE]
