[QUOTE="greggy, post: 1614616, member: 38479"] You see the farmers down here with money, flash cars for all, latest tractors and gear..... They have many, many thousands of acres, they got it at no cost, and it is fantastic farm land with plenty of water .....and they run multiple operations, none do just cattle, because, to me obviously, they cant....not because they are greedy and piling up cash. It does also become more feasible when scaled up, 20, 200, 2000 head etc all make more sense as the numbers increase. The livestock on a real farm are part of a system, not the system, unless a feedlot of course. I would also err on the plan to aquire on the run, much land here may have been in one family for centuries, they usually will only sell off portions that may be useless, anyway, would be hard to buy out adjacent places, if not next door, then that means lot of work moving all the time, and travel, etc...
