[QUOTE="midTN_Brangusman, post: 1554328, member: 23858"] I am looking at purchasing some land in the next 2-3 years. Have debated on whether to go with a turn key cattle operation or a fixer upper and more acreage. In the area I have been looking, a turn key cattle farm is about $1,500 more per acre than one with about 40-50% timber that will need logging and pastures that will need redoing. This would be a pretty large track so talking about several hundred acres more for the fixer upper. My first thought was to go with the farms with more timber. Have it logged and cleared and rent the farm to a row cropper a couple years to get it lined out. However, with the cost of land clearing and bringing the soil up to good pasture standards, it would be nice to just back the trailer up and unload the cows. I'm sure there are some on here that have either contemplated this or have been there done that. Your thoughts and opinions would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
