That's a little more information to work with.
Maybe we get to many newcomers that come on here and ask "How much does it cost to become a rancher" :roll:
Might be the best time or it could be the worst time to jump back in. This last year was a great time with grain markets going down and cattle going up. Anymore to compete you need a marketer that can hedge and lock in cattle and feed costs a nutritionist to formulate rations so you're cost effective as you can compete with the big boys and you need help 7 days a week. Custom feeding you will have feed bills to get out (which you probably do custom trucking anyway). I guess so many things depend on your situation besides that cattle market and this market is in uncharted territory who lnow what's going to happen. :shock:
