[QUOTE="BFE, post: 1725847, member: 28532"] 47. Grew up on a hog and grain farm. Dad and grandpa hauled feed and grain now dad is 72 and still hauling every day. They also hauled coal and livestock back in the old days. They sold out the cattle in the early 80’s except for an occasional fat steer. We had enough hogs to make a poor man’s living until the mid 90’s. Uncle had a junk JD square baler that I followed around all summer from about 11 to 18 years old. Got into cattle myself around ten years ago. Been up to 50 head of cows, in the low 30’s now. I can comfortably handle around 40 on my current pastures. Phasing out the commercial girls and replacing with registered angus and simmental. Row crop just shy of 400 acres. What would I have done differently? Harassed every banker in the country and bought every inch of ground I could’ve from age 18-35. [/QUOTE]
