[QUOTE="Dale00, post: 3491490, member: 688"] "Red beans and rice"...I've heard people offer that as advice or as something they've observed about long term successful cattle operations. In other words keep your expenses low. Buy cheap used vehicles, that are a good value, perhaps ones with cosmetic damage. Have financial reserves. Do not overextend yourself financially. I'd add, "Start small" and part-time. Learn the ropes and make your mistakes on a hobby scale. I think someone already said, "Work for an established operation first"....that's good also. Consider the corny old joke: "What does a farmer do if he wins a million dollars in the lottery? Farm until it's all gone." Put a pencil to paper and use enterprise budgets. Yes - talk to OSU Extension......[URL='https://extension.okstate.edu/county/']local Extension offices.[/URL].....factsheets - [URL='https://extension.okstate.edu/fact-sheets/?/']facts.okstate.edu[/URL] [/QUOTE]
