Perhaps you've seen my ranch business card with my no-livestock policy, "Big Hat, No Cattle" motto paraphrasing the Texas' All Hat -No Cattle term.

I used to go a livestock auction house in Longmont in the early 1970s, and I lived in Ft Lupton for a year.

Technically Mike, his wealth was in livestock and at the end of the book right before he rebuilt his livestock wealth again - gold rings.

Livestock?

The latter has more risk and {potentially} more reward, but as my uncle would say: unless you grew up farming, you probably shouldn't consider share-cropping  [The same would apply to renting pasture for live-stock on a per-head share].  

There is quite a bit to learn about the implications of owning a farm and/or livestock.

3) If there are any major crops or livestock grown on the type of property you are looking for, go to wherever the processing center or aggregation point is and chat with the manager (gin, grain elevator, market, auction yard, etc).

It appears to also be the only vehicle access to their livestock paddock and chicken coop.

Okay, so what my husband and I want to do with our rental property when it sells is buy a small livestock hobby farm consisting of chickens/goats and a dog kenneling, and or a small organic vineyard.   

And that is currently used for livestock.
