[QUOTE="aplusmnt, post: 256800, member: 1399"] Not sure what it would take to become a full time Rancher or Farmer. But as far as becoming a Hobby guy or I believe a part-time Rancher is possible if a person works at it. Just might be hard to get it all when you are young. In our case I was raised in the country on 40 acres but not a farm. Started a business when 20 years old. Bought a cheap house when I was 18 for $5,000.00. Fixed up, lived in for few years bought another house and rented out the first one. Then sold both of them and bought a nicer house, then bought another rent house. Sold them bought a nicer home fixed it up for a few years, then bought a cheap 15,000.00 rent house. Then sold the nicer house, and the Rent house for 20,000.00 sold a shop I had bought for 15,000.00 and bought our 130 acre farm. Took 18 years to get here, now I have a 130 acre Hobby farm with 20 cows. Now my game plan is to look to buy another 100 acres by the time I am 50 and build a herd up to say 50 cows. Never be a full time guy but if you work towards the end it is possible, but I think the reason most farmers and Ranchers are over 40 is it takes time to get there. We could have been here sooner but I liked Race Cars, Motorcycles, speed boats and other toys along the trip. Just focus and work towards it and most dreams can come true. [/QUOTE]
