Thanks for the advices. I am kinda comfortable enough to live below the mean/ the living standard I see many people have. I don't mean not take care of myself, but not spend on luxury out of necessity. My electronic devices, laptop, cars, phones... are all old for example. I am more into...

Thanks for the advice. Would it be possible to run on smaller scale first, while working 40 hrs per week or part time job in town? I do have some savings (more than 60 cows but not close enough for 300 cows from the price point you quoted). So let's say I get 60 cows. Would the annual revenue...

To be honest, I was totally oblivious about the prospect of ranching up there until I see you post. Is it forgiving for totally inexperienced wannabe rancher couples to start up there? Only favorable thing I can get from Google search is the land cost is cheaper and/but the housing cost/building...

A man. In a long run, would apprentices learn to do the fun work, even though not doing it just by seeing from afar? I ask here because I don't have farming background. While I am told by people around me that I am bright on academic side, and factory work side; it's a different kind of ball...

Thanks for the explanation. The question is, whether the law allows you to place traps around your pasture as prevention. What you described is like the law expect people to track wolves themselves to make the decision whether to shoot them down once they entered the farm.

I moved to Vancouver, WA for some months now, to share a room, so as to cut cost of rent. I used to live in Portland priorly. Portland metro and Vancouver, WA are closeby. I originally came from South Asia. Raised there for half of my current life. Then migrated to US and live here since...

This is one of my biggest fear with all this wolf conservation and reintroduction nonsense. Always require some sort of casualty rather than allowing people to proactively defend themselves and their livestock. Always paint ranchers, farmers in bad light as if they have no reasons to go after...

Hello there. Thanks for the info. I am not exactly having issue with the Oregonian ranchers. My concern is that in a longer run, they big mouth crowd may be able to mess up the leagitration here. I remembered this crazy push a few years ago...

Thanks for the warm welcome. I had joined since May last year, and have been spending time reading, and doing extra research on YouTube. If it is my own farm, my preference would be meat goat farm, but I am open to learn from cow/cattle, sheep, chicken, pig ranchers... By the way, I am still...

I am pre-new to ranching, if everyone understand me. I have no background in farming, ranching whatsoever. I always like animals. Not the kind of animals lovers that become vegan, blinding oneself from the fact that animals have their parts in ecosystem and human life. I am up with culling, so...
