[QUOTE="50/50Farms, post: 1810377, member: 42731"] You won't make cow-calf on ten acres pencil. I also don't cotton much to being "in business" with someone else without a way out that won't screw me. Go in together on some feeders, split the buying cost and the feed bill, pay your own slaughter fees. Buy three, put two in your respective freezers and sell the third one and split it to get some money back. Those heifers will need to be 15 months old to breed (you'll get varying opinions on that). And yes, that advice on cleaning it up and fencing it and then seeing how you feel is good advice. Livestock of any kind are like a truck you work on as much as you drive. The romantic part is the smallest part. If that's all you're interested in, save the money and buy a steak, a big hat and a movie ticket. [/QUOTE]
