It's a completely different type of agriculture, different equipment, skills, labor, marketing, etc. Neighbor has a nice herd of beef, but wouldn't make any sense with my existing equipment inventory and irrigation setup and my exclusively part-time farming schedule. Livestock takes daily care of some type, intensive care at specific times. Crops you can plant in the spring and harvest in the fall with some flexible time for in-season weeding, fertilizing, and irrigation management. Much more manageable on an extremely limited schedule. Allows for taking an occasional trip too 🤷🏼‍♂️
