Silver, Glad you brought that up. definitely something to consider and think about.

Texan and Per Thanks for the great input!! To try and answer some things brought up.. the owner and the manager have both offered to stay on board as consultants to help with any questions and show me the ropes as to how they have set up the ranch as very " low stress" on the cattle and the...

purecountry, I do really like the idea you mentioned. But how would I go about finding an individual that would want that sort of thing? also, I see the prices ( been researching reports and local stockyard reports like its the holy bible haha) and have always noticed the prices being higher...

Well guys it looks like I will be closing soon on the ranch talked about in the other thread I started but wanted to start another topic to hopefully get the same great knowledge and advice as the other. It was recommended multiple times to do a stocker system on the property to get my feet wet...

keep it coming guys! I really appreciate everyone taking time and talking about their opinions and what they have seen in their own endeavors. Talking a stocker system again. What kind of income would it generate? I completely understand everyones costs are different but to get a general idea...

Looks like alot more good information while I was gone. Id be more than happy to upload some pics of the rides but not sure how to on here. ill be looking at another property tuesday just doing alot of thinking.

Well there actually isnt a coyote problem in that area at all. That was one of the first questions I asked the owner of the ranch currently. Winters aren't bad at all. substantially warmer than 4 hours north where i am. scott, What exactly are you talking when you say a "stocker" system...

pure country, good to know!! is hogs the only thing you personally do? Id love to hear about goats, hogs, and free range chickens if anyone knows the land requirements for em. CJ

Lots of very good ideas!! Purecountry, The quote of 400-600 to process. thats per cow correct.? id rather ask "stupid" questions and learn than than to not ask and be stupid. Well ive gotten rid of alot of my debt. I got the debt lesson pretty early when i was 18, making great money, bought...

Something else that was just brought up when i got off the phone with the current owner. He was saying that there is a big potatoe company in the area that will lease land for 350 an acre. that is due to the fact potatoes take out so much nutrients of the land. that by itself on the 65 acres...

I am still just surprised the little profit that is being said with cattle. ive talked with some others and they are saying i can make a living off of 200 head of cattle and so on. and on here that would only yield be around 30000 a year in the big end. which actually would cover my mortgage for...

also the property has all new fencing and cross fencing. the ranch has been owned by the same man for 40 some odd years and has had the same layout. he told me when i went down to look at the property he has everything set up to be able for himself to run up too 100 head. im definitely not...

lots of really good straight forward advice! thanks for your time guys!! But when you say you look back and wish you didnt listen as much to the old mans advice are you telling me to not listen to yours? what doesnt make sense though and im looking for clarifcation on it is if theres no money...

Thanks for the quick yet info filled reply!! To answer some of the things I saw. I will start off with some info about the ranch. the original owner has set it up so the cattle are straight grass fed year round. -I will have a mortgage payment anyways and it would be the same if i stay where...

It has been awhile sense ive posted but im looking at a property to call home. 226 acres 65 of which are currently row crop with high quality soil through out. other than the 65 everything is fenced / cross fenced pasture land. the property is an existing ranch and is fairly cheap for the...

Well Im right there with Valleyhills im 21 and about to sign the paperwork for 226 acres in wilcox county GA. Hope i can get it to bring in some income. CJ

Not sure of being in much help but even though im young my other businesses seem to be doing ok for what they are. I realized that if you want to be in a business that will be around be in one people need. and something that is in their daily lives or could help their lives. mumbo jumbo vitamins...

Any GA ranchers out there? Just wanted to see if anyone has a ranch in Georgia and see how its doing.

Thanks guys! glad the ranch im working on has a decent system. We do a management program here where we rotate the cattle between pastures. That way the pastures do not get over grazed.

What size of a ranch do ya'll think is smart to start out with to get a system down? Ive been workin 130 acres with 70 head of cattle right now so we pretty much just chores and let the cows graze.
