[QUOTE="Bestoutwest, post: 1783306, member: 19397"] Raising beef just to look at is a waste of money. Cow/calf on that small of an acreage won't work. I have 20, make my own hay and it was still not profitable. Buy a couple of steers, and freezer them. Sell off most, and keep enough for you. You'll make your money back, maybe. To do cow/calf you'll need more equipment than you'll want to buy, and wait until you have one get stuck, or die. For a newbie (take it from me, I started there), it can cause a lot of anxiety and stress that's not worth it. We sold the cows, and bought a couple of calves to add to the 2 we had. I've got too much grass for them, and I was able to sell off more hay (=more money for me). If I can't find customers for the freezer they'll make me money at the sale barn. [/QUOTE]
