I was planning to raise some small scale cash crops for cash sales on my property, but I'm wondering if it would be worth my time to look into raising and selling cattle
I've got a nice four acre pasture that would be perfect for putting the cattle on, and another nice pasture that already grows grass that I can use for hay, approximately 4 acres as well.
We already have some experience raising egg Birds, meat Birds, and hogs... I'm just wondering if anyone here has any useful experience or recommendations they can give me on how to best use that property to be as profitable as possible. I'm not talking about getting rich here, I'm talking about extra cash.
We already have a couple small cattle operations near us, all on relatively small property as well. Obviously there is a lot to learn, & I would have to find a way to market and sell it, but if its worth it I'd like to give it a shot. We are planning on raising 1 or 2 for ourselves anyhow next year, just want to know if we should do more.
Thoughts?
