[QUOTE="Red Bull Breeder, post: 778336, member: 7779"] The old man i am talking about is 94 or 95 years old and yes he made his self a rich man with cattle. Now he has made some more millions selling a bunch of land to Arkansas Game and Fish. Sold them 2800 acres for 8.3 million dollars. but that was just 5 years ago. Its is not that he runs the most efficent operation it is that once a dollar gets in his pocket it stays there. He owns from 15 to 20 sections of land.Where most of us would spend money spraying and making other inprovments he is content to just keep it bushogged. Not saying what he does is the right way because i don't think it is, but it works and has worked for him. When he sells calves they will almost always be ten to fifteen head just stress out and die. Doctility just doesn't enter into the picture. He figures gentle cattle get stolen. He could make more money with a more uniform set of cattle but he ain't gonna spend the money to change his whole herd. [/QUOTE]
