[QUOTE="KDM, post: 473489, member: 314"] Tough life calving in Feb-April in the northland. You are tied to the cows every day all day. No vacations, day trips only if you can find someone who knows your herd and can deal with them. HUGE startup costs that won't see a return for 18 months. Right now a bred heifer is around 3500 average. Govt. regulations on everything from vaccines, to shipping, to processing, to feedlot numbers, to inspections, to authorized medications, pesticide usages, manure management, ANYTHING USDA, smells, Outrageous land prices, etc. etc. etc. Not to mention that the 4 big meat processors (Tyson, Cargill, JBS, and National Beef) set the price you can get for your cattle and they decide if you can even get them to market. Tough sell to youngsters used to convenience, easy fixes, air conditioning, and all things urban. Just to name a few. [/QUOTE]
