[QUOTE="GoWyo, post: 1724142, member: 38220"] Cattle are a good way to acquire other stuff you need and be able to expense them on taxes -- tractors, pickups, trailers, chain saws, welder, horses, ATVs, tools, etc. One thing I could never pencil was having to finance land and cattle at the same time. You have to own one or the other debt free and use it to acquire the other. The rest is finding ways to add value to each critter you sell, especially with a small herd. We sell registered angus and it has been tough to break into the business, but after 14 years we have bull buyers dropping in and buying bulls on their way to or from the big sales. The bull calves that become steers and the 1 or 2 heifers that don't breed up sell for a premium as freezer beef we feed out. In addition to research, raising good cattle and good management, it takes a lot of effort at marketing and customer service to do better than commercial prices. [/QUOTE]
