[QUOTE="Jon75, post: 3081892, member: 58382"] Neilo, thanks for the reply. I do agree with what you are saying. I did spend a lot of time looking at realized prices before settling on the animals we have chosen. One surprising observation was to see how poorly some AA cattle did in Bob's particular part of the world. Speaking as a beef consumer I found this disappointing. I was almost tempted to buy one for the freezer! When I have more sales data other types of calves may be considered. Speaking as a private investor I believe it's very important to have a balanced portfolio. So whilst this is a high risk enterprise I won't be remortgaging the house just yet to buy more cattle. I fully understand that I could make a loss. I did 18 years for a well known global financial institution before going self employed in an animal (not domesticated farm stock) related business so have a fair understanding about the importance of quarantine, disease and mortality etc. And to be brutally honest I don't think I need to be an experienced farmhand to see where improvements could be made now. This will be addressed in the future if we do ramp up operations. I will post updates in the future. Maybe I'll start a second thread on another beef cattle investment idea I have too. [/QUOTE]
