[QUOTE="halcat, post: 632664, member: 2295"] Like they say nick, the only way to make a small fortune in farming is to start with a large fortune. I ran 80 momma cows for years but was building houses and could afford them and could also take off for doctoring and hay cutting when needed. I would sell about 30 to 40 k in calves a year, depending on prices, which gave me cash but did NOT cover expenses. I did own my 125 acre farm and I took such good care of my place that everybody around gave me hay ground for free just o keep there place up. When the housing market went down I sold cattle for income and quit building but stayed with pipeline work and now can't take off when needed. I'm fine without cattle anyway. They can be quite tine consuming. My .02. [/QUOTE]
