I am a seventh generation farmer/rancher, but the last person in my family to maintain a successful cattle herd was my grandfather who passed away when I was ten. Therefore, I was never able to "take over the business" as it were. However, I have experience in farming and cattle from ranch hand jobs I have held. Recently I inhereted 200 acres I would like to use to reestablish my family in the cattle business. I hear many people say today that it is no longer possible to be a successful cattleman and I'll just be wasting money, but my dream is to one day become successful enough to expand to a ranch in central Texas I'll be able to retire too.
Does anybody have any general advice to someone who would like to become a successful cattleman in the 21st century or is it even possible anymore?
From my studies of the market, I figure the best option for success these days is crossbreeding, if your not alread an established pure breeder. Is this an accurate observation?
