[QUOTE="halcat, post: 632905, member: 2295"] My first piece of land I bought I couldn't even afford a tractor to keep it cleaned up. Buying a farm is about 50% of what you need to be a "farmer". All cattle iv ever bought wanted CASH. No checks and no payment plans. There is your first issue. In a normal winter you need about three 5x6 rolls of hay per cow. I doctored my cows twice a year. Second issue. I had catch pens, head chute, sweep tub, about $15 grand worth. You can't work cattle by your self. Issue number three. I had several different people I could get to help along with two or three thousand dollars for medicine. I gave my cows five shots each. Issue number four FERTILIZER, when I was running cattle it was $200 a ton. I think Its about $500 now. Issue five. I had about $150 k in farm equipment. Final issue. The damn things can DIE! And die they will. Oh yea, don't forget the coyotes. Good luck [/QUOTE]
