[QUOTE="Donnie Frazier, post: 346096, member: 3652"] Thanks for all the input so far. Some of you are so right in your thoughts. I have to become a lot more knowledable in bloodlines and what is working and what isn't in whatever breed I have. I wish there was some kind of crash course somewhere for raising and selling cattle. There are so many abbreviations and terms used in the cattle business that I have yet to figure out. I have had some expensive lessons so far. To be honest in the back of my mind I can't help but wonder if I should be going in any direction with cattle?? I really enjoy messing with them and working them but I want to make profits. I have no intention of doing it as a hobby. I don't like it enough to do it and not make money. The government was going to pay me $109.00 per acre for 15 years to put the same land the cows are going to be on in a crep program with pine trees for 30 years. I decided against the 30 crep program contract thinking I could make more with cows. I hope I was right?? Time will tell. I live in eastern NC and around here at the sale barn if it isn't black you just about have to give it away and that is no exaggeration. Take care, DRF [/QUOTE]
