[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 17420"] Real thought-provoking questions! Foremost and basic: Do you REALLY like and enjoy being around animals, including cattle especially? Are you willing to devote 24/7 to your activities if needed? Livestock raising is NOT a "9-5" day job. It's an all weather job. Do you have the financial resources to support your livestock operation for 3 to 5 years to ensure they have plenty of food, a decent facility to live in, and to provide them with Vet care as needed? Livestock breeding and raising is a lifestyle! Enjoyable one at that. Most of us only break even or make a modest profit over the long haul. Only the select few top percent actually make good money, year to year. On the other hand, if one is entering livestock as an avocation or extra thing, then their day job(s) provide financial resources for their livestock.
