[QUOTE="Texas PaPaw, post: 191406, member: 2905"] rancher4life Welcome aboard. Lots of good advice at this forum. Let me share a few things that have not been mentioned. Some words of wisdom I have heard before: 1. Good judgement comes from experience & experience comes from bad judgement. 2. In order to suceed one must [b]first plan to fail INEXPENSIVELY[/b]. Trust me, there is no shortcut to this process. However by learning as much as possible from the experiences of others you may be able to reduce the cost of the experience process. Find a mentor-rancher and volunteer to work for free for the experience. Do your homework & save, save,save + plan, plan ,plan. There are some books that I highly recommend for anyone in the cattle business: 1. "Knowledge Rich Ranching" This book is about the business side of the cattle business, goals, financing, cattle cycle, economics, grazing management, etc. 2. "Thoughts & Advice From an Old Cattleman" Written by renowned stocker operator & veterinarian Gordon Hazard DVM. The title says it all. 3. "Management Intensive Grazing" by the guru of grass Jim Gerrish. Covers soils, growing quality pasture, manageing pastures & animals, animal care, fencing, water systems & designing grazing systems. The following link is for the Stockman Grassfarmer magazine, where you can order the above books & also request a free sample copy of the magazine. There are a number of other good books available at this site also. [url=http://www.stockmangrassfarmer.net/]http://www.stockmangrassfarmer.net/[/url] Hope you find this info helpful. Good luck & happy trails Brock [/QUOTE]
