This makes me realize finding a property that’s already fenced and has a pond is a huge benefit too

I question myself everyday whether I still want to be a farmer “when I grow up” and I really appreciate you reinforcing my reasons for getting up everyday, going to work in the city, and striving to get my farm ready to support a diverse, regenerative farm.

Direct to consumer is a must to make a profit in a small farm. Have super high quality beef and charge accordingly.

We are just starting to get into beef cattle we have poultry and dairy cattle and have experienced pretty much what you outlined numbers are different but the approach lines up. We are adding beef for our security and to provide good food to our community. We never thought this would be a way to add big money to our bank account but we enjoy the lifestyle and the people we meet. Our grandkids are learning tons just as you pointed out.<br>Great video thank you for taking the time do this and to be honest. Appreciate you very much

This was really helpful. Thanks for the good information and the inspiration to move forward with confidence. I'm 62 and just getting started in farming. I've been a city boy all my life, but with a deep love for the country and for farming. Can't wait to put some of your ideas into practice. Keep feeding us good information! God's grace and peace to you and your family!

Thank you for the examples that you used, I have a homestead similar in size, and just starting to get into having cattle, always like these videos to help a beginner like me.

Great video. I have family members in Central Illinois, who raise half a dozen head. More for a life and family experience like you said, learning the lifecycle creating work ethic and respect for the land and animals you raise. putting meat in your freezer. And at the end of the day, if you make a few dollars off the sale of your animals. Bartering is so important. This family will help other land owners with their needs. In return to get their hay cut and bailed for them. like you said it gives you a reason to get up and stay productive and hopefully stay healthy. A good work ethic is a healthy life. A lot of people misunderstand that.
