She has 4 heifers and 2 steers so far and we just went and walked 5 more acres close to our homestead we may put calves on. What an adventure! I love seeing you young women restoring the land through agriculture. Blessings

7 years... Guys and Gals, farming is a 100 plus year plan. I'm never going to see my goals, my grandkids will. I am totally OK with it! You're never going to be cash rich farming, but you will build considerable wealth on paper. We're a medium sized agriculture enterprise, so the numbers being thrown around are a lot bigger, but 30% margins? Growth / investment will bring that actual net net net number down to near zero if you're building something generational. I like to say I have the two best part time jobs in the world. Farming and aviation. I have always done both until recently. For me, their are two key factors to success. 1.) PEOPLE! For direct to consumer, you're in the hospitality industry! The connection is everything. The same goes for commercial organic feed stock customers. You're not dumping commodities on an open market. You're dealing with people. 2.) PROCESS! Having systems and enterprises that get things done efficiently without sacrificing quality, and that compliment each other.

That's a good question, but I could not provide a general answer. Net profit depends on your expenses, which varies from operation to operation. 2 pieces of advice I would give is make an itemized list of ALL of the expenses you have right now. Second, research and see if you are raising an animal with the best revenue potential for your current setup. Sheep are a harder animal to raise, but my setup accommodate them and they give me 400% greater revenue than cows.

A soul sister. Our why’s are shared. And it seems that many of the influences are shared as well. It has taken many years to get to understand what it is I am built to do. I’ve found it in RegAg. I will be a farmer. I will be following this channel closely. Continue the good work!
