Nothing ventured nothing gained is exactly right ! But your need to market what you are trying to accomplish will be the highest need in your type of venture and without the background your marketing skills won't start at 0 and work up, they will start in the negatives to work up. That is where your curve is the highest and hardest to overcome and where a year with a cow/calf producer or one of the many other suggestions would make you a credible marketer - and give your idea a better chance of success.
One more thought - in such a highly competitive area while you start at -35 in your marketing you will be competing in sales with people that were born into it, and have lived it all their lives, with as much or more education. In other words when you start at -35 they began at + 1000 and continue adding to their learning curve all the time.
