I have no idea what your financial resources are, but unless you have REALLY deep pockets, farming/ranching on a profitable scale is nearly impossible. I own my land and all my equipment (no, I didn’t pay for it with farm income), and a “legitimate” profit in cattle still eludes me.I have a question. Many know we'll be moving to OK in the next 7-8 months and at some point will be pruchasing a fair amount of land. Despite what many think of people from California, I'm fairly capable around a ranch/property type setting with respect to hard work, tools, equipment, maintenance and all the things not related to farm animals.
So, my question is: What is the best way to learn about buying, owning, raising and evenutally slaughtering beef cattle? Is there a "raising cattle for dummies" type of book or similar that is worth a chit? I have a good friend in the Cushing area that will guide me with much of this once i move but want to do a lot of research early before my relocation. Please point me in the right direction with websites, books or other info on this topic. Thanks for the help.
A guy goes into a hardware store, and buys a hammer. The next day he is back and buys another hammer. That afternoon he comes back and buys a third hammer, and the next morning, another hammer.
The hardware store owner's curiosity finally gets to him and he asks the guy, "Say... may I ask what you're doing with all these hammers?"
"I'm selling them"
"May I ask how much your selling them for?"
"Ten dollars."
"Ten dollars? But that's what you pay ME for them...."
"Yup"
"Well.... you can't make any money that way."
"I know. But it beats farming."
SOOOO many farming jokes....
