Hello All,
My brother and I have finally made the decision to pursue our dreams and go into the cattle business. He is a bit more educated with cattle since he has two-three head on his land. (Our father also worked the dairy farms many, many years ago and has taught my brother some...)
We are looking into buying 50+ acres near (north) of DFW, TX and want to raise/sell cattle as well as have some hay production... but since this is a huge decision for me, and since I am a bit more independant/stubborn (call it what you wish), I am hoping to find a mentor who I can learn from. I learn hands-on and would like to know exactly what I am getting into before we make the leap. This will be our family business, so the planning is essential for me and I'd rather do it right the first time. (Our goal is to purchase property early in the 2009 year and go from there)
Anyone near the DFW area (or in N Texas/S Oklahoma for that matter) willing to take on a young sponge??
BTW - I've learned a ton already reading on the site... thanks for all those who respond.
