[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 452995, member: 3162"] If you're serious, you need much more acreage. Look in to leasing. If you consistently earn $200 a year off of one adult cow, you'd be doing better than "average" in the cattle business. Ten cows would net you $2,000. Most of us have more than 3 acres just for working pens, chutes, hay storage and the like. You could indeed get a couple of nurse cows. You could buy young beef calves that are split off of cutters or canners intended to be sold as pairs, and make a few nickels. Two jersey nurse cows could raise a dozen calves each per year with the right management. Hence, I'm not saying there is no way. I'm just saying that it won't be easy. Plus the neighbors will get ticked about flies, stinch, and their dogs barking at your cows. [/QUOTE]
