Before anything else, you will need to prepare a business plan. A cattle ranch will require lots of capital and not all financial institutions will shell out money without a solid plan. You will have to talk about the operations and what makes you capable of starting this business yourself before banks will even give you the time. Speaking of banks, make sure your banker understands agricultural businesses, so your best bet for these are rural banks and not the big commercial ones.

Aside from the business plan, you will need to make sure you already have a sizeable piece of land for your cattle to graze and sleep in. The land should be located in a place with a suitable climate, otherwise your cows won’t thrive at all. It will also affect the taste of their meat later on. Specific plants growing in certain temperatures will definitely find their way into your cows’ bellies and into their sinews.
You should also think about who you associate with. Find yourself a mentor to show you the ropes on cattle grazing. This way you’re not totally blind going into the business. You can even benefit gaining friends from local leaders who will help you with community issues if some should arise.
