In Mr. Brian’s conclusion therefore, he encouraged farmers that If they do not have a lot of capital, they can always start small and grow their business overtime and they should also need to carry out market research (Who are you going to sell the cattle or beef to? At what price?) and write a beef cattle farming business plan before they venture into the business.
