[QUOTE="redfornow, post: 263443, member: 1580"] The problem with a new set up is quite simple. Its not the big "buys" that get you, its the nickle and dime stuff that will last a lifetime, but have to be bought. I agree with CB it takes two calfs to clear a cow, after that you have two choices. 1. lower input costs i.e cut it to the bone 2. raise sale price i.e. be a price setter rather than a price taker. The second is much easier said than done, but it can be done with bull sales, grass feed "natural" beef sales and getting involved with you local coop to up your dollars while not able to gather like steers for loads. The first is all about dicipline, no new truck tractor or home. Keep both your personal and business spending down and save it for a rainy day, cause it will RAIN. This can be done, but it will not be done as a "hobby" it requires real planning real work and real luck at times. But it can be done Good luck and thanks for playing MD [/QUOTE]
