[QUOTE="Jena, post: 65740, member: 74"] The most important thing I ever learned about raising cattle and how to be profitable was... "Do what works for your operation". When I first started, I learned as much as I could. I read everything, asked questions, etc. In the end I was so darn confused about what I ought to do that I had less of a clue than when I started. If I followed everything folks said I should be doing, I'd have to go out of business cuz one will say "Do This!" and the next one says "Don't do that". It didn't help that most of these folks were looking to make a buck while giving their advice! Also...the internet is not the world. Cattle magazines are not the world. Yes, what happens in the world can affect you, but some of the ways they hype things up....make the unwary believe they were headed for certain failure. Find what works for you, in your situation. Heck, I probably couldn't give away a grass fed beef around here, yet I know folks who are making a decent living selling them that way. Works for them, not for me. Jena [/QUOTE]
