[QUOTE="hersh, post: 338836, member: 4777"] From everything I've seen in my life, cattle farming is not something you can live off of by itself unless you inherit the land/equipment/herd. And most of those are ran into the ground anyways after the folks die. Cattle are supplemental and its what I'm hoping for when I retire(slow down) at 40, plus I square bale, have fruit trees and plan on having around 40 cows by then. I have a year and a half and the remainder of my equipment payments are history, by then I will have sunk 150k in the last 4 years.The land here was 180k for my 130 acres, remodled the little farm house and built my barn and fences(still got a ways to go on these) out of pocket. AND if I play my cards right I just may be able to swing my $800 property taxes out of all this. [/QUOTE]
