[QUOTE="Lawson Farms, post: 977858, member: 14971"] I grew up on a family dairy farm. Went to college and moved off the farm. My dad passed away suddenly but we continued the dairy operation for just over a year after he passed. That was 5 years ago. Now we're up to about 200 beef mama cows. Some of those are left over Holsteins from the dairy operation. My great grandfather milked on this property. He transitioned to beef as health declined. My grandfather and father and his siblings continued the beef cows until my dad started dairying again in a new facility in the mid 70's. I know of several young guys my age around here that have gotten into beef cows. I know of several guys my parents age that have gotten into beef. I know of none that have gotten into dairying other than maybe a single cow for themselves. [/QUOTE]
