[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1656840, member: 32659"] When people talk about running cattle for a living and not being able to make it I wonder if they mean living off 1 or 2 calf checks a year and nothing else? Everyone I know living off ranching does some sort of ranch related work on the side for extra income. For example build fence, bale hay, sell hay, pasture spraying, tractor work, horse training/selling, sell bulls, or something along those lines. I can only speak for this area but even running 500-800 head around here would still leave time to work extra during the year. Most guys feed and tend cows from Dec - April then start on the side work through the spring and summer. On another note as many have said on here, once you start treating the cattle like an actual business it’s much clearer how to make money at it. [/QUOTE]
