[QUOTE="TexasRancher, post: 1698966, member: 8359"] You have to love cattle, bulls, breeding....it has to come from your heart....not the money-profit end of things. Check your worse-case loss for two years...if your happiness and passion for cattle is worth more to you than the loss...by all means go for it. You should be able to cut losses to zero and maybe turn a profit on your third year..even on someone else's land...$1,500. is not that much (that's ~ winter hay costs), corral ready to go. I know some ranchers that put them out alone without checking on them or neglect responsible feeding. The the cattle love you and rely on you...needs are mutual...you're responsible for their welfare. I can tell you...it'll keep you out of trouble if you have too much idle time on your hands. If you're asking the question to be talked out of it....I don't see the cattle love passion (giving back to society-feeding people), I'm seeing worried financials. What would God think...seeing a nicely organized ranch with cattle eating healthy...or Bill Gates fake near-beef soy made in a chemical processing plant. The tie in your heart should be in the land and cattle, gets me closer to God. This post will probably offend and get deleted...I guess we can't mention God our Father. I will let it stand. [/QUOTE]
