I want to buy exotic or premium priced breeds that are readily marketable on the east coast ? We are looking for breeds priced well above Angus, etc.
Thanks - Jim
Interesting business concept! Suppose some of the people on East coast with 1 or 5 acre "ranches" could be talked into about anything...lol
Any breed has top end premium priced high-quality animals that sell for tens of thousands of dollars. However, perhaps 99% of the rest of the animals sell for whatever the going market rate is.
We all know what happened to the ostrich, emu, and other fads where the few entrepreneurs made fortunes only to dump the fad onto unsuspecting buyers hoping to make it big. In the end, you couldn't pay someone to take an ostrich or emu. And, the "late-comers" lost their money and some lost their homes and savings in the process.
Farm raised alligators probably sell well to make shoes and handbags. Longhorn hides and other body parts bring high dollar.
How about breeding and selling 250 lb mature sized cattle for backyard ranching? :roll:
Sorry I'm so caustic or pessamistic... There is no legal short-term or easy way to riches and fame. If there were in the livestock business I'm not sure the holder of that information would be willing to share the secrets...unless, perhaps, she/he decided to sell books, manuals, and video packages on one of those sleezy late night infomercials....
