[QUOTE="SteppedInIt, post: 1171360, member: 20331"] First, thanks for your service and I wish you the best. I am still in the beginning stages of my cattle operation. The most valuable thing I have done is gain info/help/experience from seasoned cattlemen. I help them bail hay, fix fences, work cattle in exchange for a place to put my cattle while I am developing my own place. Cattle ownership actually came easy and grows quicker than I thought. Land is hard to acquire rather trying to lease or buy because my herd is growing quicker than gaining access to land. Having to prioritize your needs is hard. I have a long list of needs, but still don't own a tractor, working equipment, or even a cattle trailer. The networking and time I have put in working with the older guys, I find their willingness to let me borrow equipment, trailers and using their facilities and sell me hay at a much lower cost. Otherwise I would be in massive debt on my own. With their help I am able to pay cash for all I am doing now. Its definitely long term growth and acquiring things. I believe the key is keep it cash, buy only what is a must and only when you can afford it(cash). [/QUOTE]
