Apparently the difference is that you guys aren’t farmers, you’re hobbyists.
I mean....in the strictest sense they are. You can’t make a living on it, but plenty of people keep a few head of cattle or farm the family’s old forty just for fun or tradition.
But I’m not going to throw shade on anyone for the size of their operation. I honestly feel like we’ve lost a lot with the consolidation over the years and hate to see it happen.

I found my break even at about 75 head. I have a little over 250 now. You can scratch out a living but it would be hard. I supplement that with row crop and some produce. Funny thing is I might make 25 grand a year doing all that. Most of my expense is payroll cause I actually work a regular job and have to hire out labor. The repeal of the COOL act in 2015 is what is killing the little man right now.
