[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1417361, member: 6291"] It will be very hard to do with that amount of acres. You need 5ac per pair of improved grass and 10ac per pair native to raise a calf best case scenario. Depending on where exactly you are talking it may be more. That is not counting finishing out the calves. I would look in to finding some one to produce you calves to a certain size, as suggested, then taking them to your place to finish out. As you get a feel for your market, if all is going well, you can look at purchasing or leasing more land. IMO the most money you will make is being the the middle and end man. The original producer usually takes on the most risk for the smallest reward. [/QUOTE]
