[QUOTE="Susie David, post: 113185, member: 1744"] If I had to do this all over again I would make some changes in the appraoch that I would take here are some considerations that come to mind: 1...Planning and budget would be a primary consideration. Know what direction you want to go i.e. size and purpose of the operation(why do you want to raise cattle, money? hobby?, retirement?) how much do you have to invest. 2...Determine your abilities, what do you know about cows and farm life...some times just going to buy groceries is a planned event. 3...Start small, we did and are thankful for it...allowed us to build without going into debt. 4...Develop a network of friends who you can help you with the day to day problems...and pull a calf when necessary. I'm rambling on here, but I would have planned more thoroughly and had a more specific direction i.e cow/calf or feeder...now we have both and still not sure if we want to keep both. Oh yeah....make sure that your spouse in in total support of your decisions...makes life alot easier. Dave Mc [/QUOTE]
