[QUOTE="Ferd, post: 1725477, member: 22819"] 65. Had cattle with Dad, we ran some with Grandpa, Uncle, and cousins part of the time. Dad died when I was 27. I was left with a herd of cattle, full time job, wife, 3 kids too young to help. Sold out. Mixed beef herd. Dad liked Charolais bulls. We pulled a bunch of calves. Retired at 57, bought a small place in Crawford County Illinois. Leased pasture on 3 sides of me, was building a decent herd, SimAngus bull. 2018 chest and left arm pain. 90% blockage. Quit leasing, moved back to my land only. Found a guy who had just bought 230 acres of grass who bought all the standard beef cows. Left me with 6 longhorns and a Jersey Angus cross. I have all but 3 longhorns replaced. They will go after raising calves this year. They are great brood cows, but not what I want. I’ll have 17 standard beef females and an Angus bull remaining. Very healthy, doctors couldn’t believe that I had heart trouble, I told them that described my Dad when he died suddenly at 63 and his Mom at 65. Hmmm, 90% blockage, I guess you were right. [/QUOTE]
