[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 15761"] Good points! I think, that for someone that doesn't have any knowledge of the industry, the best idea may be to partner up with someone that's been around for years and just needs an influx of money to expand or change the area of the industry they are currently involved in. Maybe purchase good pasture land and lease it for grazing. Go slow, don;t drown. It;s old and it;s trite, but the best way to make a small fortune in cattle is to start with a large fortune. dun > Starting up any business and > making a profit in the first year > or two is difficult.
