[QUOTE="Marty, post: 633498, member: 158"] The best thing about cattle is there is a sale somewhere almost every day out of the week. If you need to sell its not like posting a CL add and waiting for calls. I am self employed (investments) and do not have a 9-5. I got about 40 acres and keep 10-15 cows and a few horses. No way I could afford any of it without another source of income. I like the fact that there is something to do all the time, keeps me from being bored. I have been doing it for a couple years now and love it. Its aggravating at times but love the reward. I would like to have more land but even in the country now there are houses everywhere and no one wants to sell. Def cheaper to buy hay (in NC anyway). If I got hay equipment it would be to have a hobby lol. Also have to think about handling cattle. Cant really expect them to walk on a stock trailer when you have feed in your hand. Granted you can build something but it needs to be safe and easy to use. My GF helps me when I have to load some or work on one. I have over 10k in my sweep system without a squeeze shoot. From an ethical standpoint you need at least a head gate to restrain one for a Vet to work on or when you band/cut bulls. [/QUOTE]
