[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1646787, member: 6291"] I didnt read the whole article but the parts you quoted all seem to be accurate. My rule of thumb is 30-50 hd. If it cant do that it's really hard turn turn any profit, especially on lease land. Smaller places do work for heifer properties and what not to assist in a larger operation. I do believe with AI and some niche market like direct selling beef and what not there is some room for adjustment. Trying to start an operation running cows in a traditional sense, with a bull, hauling to the auction barn, ect is near impossible in my experience on small acreage. [/QUOTE]
