[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1792157, member: 32659"] Regional differences I guess. This discussion has allot to do with why I can't understand why folks say it's so hard to make a living in the cattle business. There's an obvious need for people to catch, doctor, palpate, pull calves, etc. Most young guys trying to get in the biz in our area do all this stuff for day money. They work the salebarns too. I told a guy at work the other day "you can't be a lazy sob and make it in the cattle business" and that's the truth. The days of running 75 cows and working 1 hr a day then hanging out are over with. Cowboys are getting $175 a day or $4 a head to preg check here. That's for 1 hr or 10 it's up to them to get the job done. $175 a day isn't a bad side gig if you ask me. All that is an entire nother discussion though. [/QUOTE]
