Hey all, New to the forum. Thought i would finally sign up and ask a question that's come up recently.

I am currently working on getting my property set up to start running cattle. I have about 60 acres and i plan to start fencing it in and have a pond dug out, get a good solid operation set up. This is my dream, my goal in life. This is what i want to be my main event.

My question.....A job opportunity has come up, that would be a nice raise and would get me to my goal/dream MUCH faster. Like within the next 2-3 years I could be fully operational. But the job will require travel. Not much, just 1 to maybe 2 nights a week or every other week.

My concern is with traveling, and having a cattle operation at home, would i be stupid to be across the country and expect the farm to stay safe. I wouldn't run much more than 10 head starting out. Would be plenty of pasture/water.

And i dont plan on retiring from my 8-5 job until my house is paid off.

Any thoughts or experiences yall have had with your ranch and primary job....?
