I’m starting a cattle ranch. 30 head. 150 acres. All financed on 0% interest credit cards for 24 months. Here’s the math: each feeder calf costs about $1,200. Add fencing, minerals, and vet costs, and you’re in for roughly $46,000 total. With 30 head, feed and upkeep run about $10,000 to $12,000 over two years. Finished cattle sell for $2,500 today, possibly $3,000 to $3,500 if prices double like I expect. That’s $90,000 to $105,000 in potential revenue and $40,000 to $55,000 in profit. Why I think prices double: the U.S. cattle herd is at its lowest in 70 years. Drought forced ranchers to liquidate breeding stock, and rebuilding takes years. Feed and diesel are down, but the herd is not coming back fast enough. Demand is steady, exports are rising, and the supply pipeline is empty. Owning 150 acres free and clear changes the math. Grass is free. Land is paid for. My debt is 0% for two years. I’m turning idle acreage into productive equity with no interest cost and full upside exposure to a structural supply shortage. If prices pop, I’ll roll profits into breeding stock and compound. If not, I’ll still have cattle, pasture, and experience. Most people buy stocks they don’t understand. I’m buying animals I can see eat, walk, and grow, and using free credit to do it.
