[QUOTE="Susie David, post: 401878, member: 1744"] We consider ourselves a small time operation. Small acreage, small barn, small pens, small (by other folks standards) pastures and small operating expenses. No debt and the cows pay for themselves (still don't have to get a town job) and we even have some positive numbers on the Sch-F. I believe that the size of the operation isn't the measure of its solvency but the way the business plan is followed and adapted as necessary. To darn old to start planning on expanding...heck, we're planning our retirement. Probably aim the motor home south and visit all the folks that have invited us for a visit....can't miss the barge...we're the one with a winking cow on the sides and rear of the vehicle. Back to my origional thought...the size of the spread/farm/ranch/place should be measured by how well it is managed not how many aces are between the fences. Good land use, good forage, rotation and healthy well conditioned animals that are stocked in porportion to the land condition are a better measure of the business. And that's my two bits worth...asked for or not....DMc [/QUOTE]
