[QUOTE="TheLazyM, post: 192471, member: 3117"] Just got a chance to pop in. this nice weather brought alot of work to be done. i decided to go ahead and get my fields bushhoged and cleaned up and get my fertilizer out to be ready for the rain thats on the way. i'm 2 weeks ahead of schedule this year i hope things keep going this well. To C.B's question i bought my ladys for $500 each so i spent $10,000 at 1 time. right now i have $167 in them each. that price should not get much more. no more than say $210. all my ladys but two have already dropped their calves and i have'nt lost any. the most i have spent on a cow a year of any given year in the last 5 years is $280. that was my first year. God has things changed. Can i add that i am a proud "hobbie farmer". To tell you the truth i would hate to depend on farming to make my living. The farmers have always taking the shaft. and now again the house is talking "AGAIN" about killing the farm programs. but yet all we can do is log on to a website and argue about the rightious place of farmers and hobbie farmers. i not going to defend land prices and all that other stuff. me and my wife want land we where both raised in the country so we bought our land. then it sets in. "all this wide open space" so we done something with it. sorry if that hurts anybodies feelings, but i am going to keep doing it, and maybe me and my wife might have a nestegg to retire on. i did'nt trust 401k programs it seem like it was a good thing too. i try to conduct myself as a busness man. i will admit that i have fallen short at times and made bad decisions, but i learned from it. i dont think there is any thing wrong with banning together and bettering ourselfs. what is this "true rancher" and "hobbist" kick? i dont understand. does this mean that i'm lower than dirt or that my product is less grade than a "ranchers". am i some how poisioning the market with my product? am i some how taking away from yall "ranchers" that should be your's? i just dont understand.....
