[QUOTE="SEKDUTTON, post: 769558, member: 14439"] thanks for the advice so far, im in afghaniland now currently. got couple months left on this tour. the land, water, fences you guys asked about are already taken care of. i work for a buddy of mines dad that has over 200 acres with only about 40 head on it, all good pature land with cross fencing, corrals, squeeze chute and ponds. he said starting out if i wanted to i could stick some cows in with his. i work for him anyways so that wont be bad and i told him when it comes to winter hay time that we would jsut figure out what percentage of the herd my couple cows are and i would pay for that percentage of the hay. we get along great so i see no problems with this setup, least not for just year or two. my question is if you guys that are in commercial beef would start over would you go the registerd way or would you just stick with commerical beef. my goal is that when im in my 40-50s to have enough cattle to retire and jsut live off of the payback, but even if i cant do that i still want them. been wanting cattle since ive been in highschool jsut too many factors agianst ya if you dont ahve your own ground. also how hard is it to get into the registerd cattle buisness, is it a cornerd market that just soem people control or is there still alot of money left to be had? thanks agian all for the fast replies, im sure il have tons of other questions before the end of year, haha just wanna get my research done beofre i go off and spend any money.
