We have always raised beef cattle on this multi-generation 20+ acre farm operation. We have been here so long that the city has grown to include us within the city limits. We enjoy our quiet piece of the country and raising cattle but the prices of feed, seed, fertilizer, diesel etc. is close to driving us out of the business. What can we do to make it more profitable and still lead our quiet lives? It can be something to do with the cattle or something not too drastic. My Dad has always worked this land and even thou, he's getting older and finding it harder to do the things he's use to, I don't want to shock his system with too much change. Thanks

you haven't described your operation very well. 20+ acres strikes me as very small for cattle
which submarket offers highest net revenues?
local grass fed free range or beefalo may sell to upscale restaurants at premium prices if you can supply the needed volume. might be you'll only need one such customer.
