[QUOTE="alftn, post: 706348, member: 5647"] I can not understand why people can not, make money on at least the small scale...Here at the house I have about 7 ac. got most of it fenced, my self using 5 strands of wire, and old telephone poles that the utility company gave me.. also about 150 steels..I figure it cost about 600 to fence it and of course a fair amount of labor...If I put 3 calves on it I probly get by with very littly hay, and alittle treet grain...Kill one at 18,24, and 30 months, for maybe 100$ each in grain and 250 to 300$ kill fee...Yes labor involed and hauling and butcher fee..The 3 will average 400 t0 500 lbs of beef each, that is alot of food for you family... and in these time beef on the hoof is better than money in the bank at least I think so...Plus I eat the beef that is raise by me , no sales tax, health , quality, good eating... I gave up hunting deer and put my time into my cattle, last year I had killed 5 head, 2 spring and 3 in fall, and off the top of my head at least 44 people got some of it and ate it, most had a years supply.. at little or no cost to them...I have 3 different places that I have cattle and another friend has 75 ac , mostly fenced, now he want in on the deal...If you can work with people, and have resourses it is amazing what you can do....
