Hey Dominic , not selling at the market this year. We’re doing a 12 week CSA this year instead … 9 month old baby on our hands so had to cut out a couple things lol
I just went back through a few videos and couldn’t find it… there’s an awful lot of them to sift through lol. It was definitely in the past 3 months, he was at the leased farm he has with the barn near the road if it’s any help.. the context of the video is this - someone with 18 head on 25 acres called looking for a bull. I’m guessing what most guys would consider a FT income would be closer to $50k
@@nicholasmacinnis1486 yeah he never really talks details about the economics of it. He always says, “well it varies depending on location”. I think we all understand it varies but it would be nice to hear actual real world scenarios. Maybe you can do a video as you grow?
@@jhost0311 when I have some time later in the summer I’m going to put together a couple recorded presentations on this subject. Not to put words in his mouth, but I expect that Greg’s definition of “making a living off the land” would be a farm that produces between $50k and $70k…. Essentially you’re looking at farm revenue north of $150k per year to get there.
@@jhost0311 that seems high. Depends on the animal, if I’m buying 700lb steers and raising them for 12 months and then butchering / direct selling I think the profit is closer to $750 per head.
@@patrickruiz7963 I’ve custom grazed alot of them over the years. A little big for my liking but there are a lot of nice ones out there. Depends on what you’re hoping to do and your local markets.
Wise words for sure. You have some nice looking grass there too!
Thank you!
Nice video, thanks. Cheers from Uruguay
Thanks for watching!
Sound advice Nick

@@nicholasmacinnis1486 fair enough!
What is the current rate for custom grazing today - Southern region around East TN ?
Not sure TBH. Best to check with locals.
What are your main goals in the next few years?

Hello from Olean ny
What video did Greg talk about the amount of acres required to have a full time income?
Also, what does he consider a full time income? $50k, $150k?

Yeah makes sense.
What’s your avg profit per cow? Like $1500-$2000?

More color in the herd? LOL. Tell that to the Brazilian beautiful ALL white cow - the most expensive cow in the world - valued at over $4 million.
Hmm not sure I mentioned anything on color.
