Subject: So how many cows does it take to make a comfortable living?


Jim's thread a couple days ago got me wondering what most think. I mean with +/-current prices, no crops, job in town, custom hire, etc. I always thought around 350 mommas. That way could afford to hire one good full time guy and still have enough left to be pretty comfortable. I don't think I could handle more than 200 unless I could find one big block of ground to run them on or hired hay, fencing, etc. I know the number will be different for different areas, equity in farm, land prices, local job opportunities, etc.
