[QUOTE="Ruark, post: 890969, member: 16279"] Good basic information there. 3 cows per acre in August? I wish. In many southwestern areas, it's more like 1 cow per 10 acres. I would like to add: - business management. Get a good CPA with farm and ranch experience to do your taxes. He can tell you what is deductible, how to set up your ranch as a business, no matter how small it is, etc. Once that is done, you'd be surprised what is tax deductible. Even the fence around the pastures has a deductible depreciation. - miniature cattle. I'm surprised this wasn't mentioned. There are several miniature breeds that are great for small operations. We're not talking about little "pets" here; we're talking about 500-1000 pound animals. Less feed, less water, less grazing, easier to handle, and they don't tear up your pastures when it's muddy like full size cattle do. [/QUOTE]
