    Seriously Considering Selling the Cows

    Trouble with financing it in this part of the country is first thing they do is remove every tree, fence and most buildings to farm it. Five years later when that fails, you get your farm back. No equipment, nobody wants a gutted farm, and you're worse off than you were before. Saw it happen...

    Seriously Considering Selling the Cows

    But I don't want more real-estate! Want the headaches to go away. Got houses to live in, don't wanna raise cows anymore. I just wanna spend the equity I spent a lifetime building. I'm willing to pour it back into the economy. LOL!!! Just not in the form of taxes.

    Flat

    I'm more worried about the people that look for and read stuff like this on the internet. Then, unbelievable to me, they pass it on so others can read it also. What kind of website do you start at to get sent to things like that. Gs
