[QUOTE="Jim62, post: 539275, member: 6655"] Thanks. No, he is not willing to come and help if needed. His plan is to have the 5 cows and just sit back and let the money come rolling in. He figures there's nothing to do until it's time to sell the calves. He had a few cows about 25 years ago, and they darn near starved to death because he didn't realize that they needed to have something to eat. This is his history in dealing with most things he tries. As an example, stocking a pond with catfish and setting up a feeder to automatically feed them. Well, a feeder full of feed lasts about a week. I've been feeding them for the past 2 months (so far) while the feeder is empty. Just waiting to see how long it's going to take before he happens to think of filling it. Our land adjoins each other. I really don't need his part of it, which is about 25 acres. So from that angle we'd only be dealing with about $500/year. Anyway, it's something of a principle involved here for me. Having any kind of a decent relationship with him is waaay down on my list of important stuff to do. He is and always has been concerned for himself only, to heck with everybody else. And the beat goes on............ I think I'll opt for the stop before we start, too. [/QUOTE]
