Maybe you should repeat the class. :nod:
Owning anything that rusts, rots or depreciates doesn't fit what they push. Their idea is to bring feed in and put those nutrients into your soil. I explained I could make hay in my locale cheaper than buying it and paying $2000 a load for freight. It was suggested that I maybe shouldn't own cows and should venture into tourism instead. When I asked the instructor how many of his friends would like to commune with nature in cold, mosquito infested swamps he had no reply.
As far as paying money to go again, maybe if they ever did another in western Canada. I never would have attended the one I did had my wife not put my name in a draw box. Don't get me wrong, I did learn a bunch there during the first three days of business, personal and personnel management. The last four days of buying not enough hay and expecting cows to turn a profit on promises didn't wash for my area of the world.
