[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 272747, member: 2862"] Dun, I'm not sure if he's adverse to living in Canada or not, but cow land in Saskatchewan is cheap and productive. On an average year, in my area, you need 2 acres of decent grass to keep a pair fed during grazing months, and another 3 - 4 acres of _ok_ hay land to feed them through the winter. I see plenty of quarters selling for $30 - $35,000. As far as marketing goes, the cow/calf operator has plenty of auction barns and private treaty opportunities. Fed animals are more restricted as the packers are trying to limit small operators from shipping, and prefer rather to deal with lots of 50 animals or more. Rod [/QUOTE]
