[QUOTE="TREY-L, post: 501614, member: 6073"] We could be triplets, as this is also my story. I am 33, work full time, spouse works full time. I am a firm believer that life meets no man half way, if you want something in life you have to go the full distance. The only thing I can see that I may have done a little different than you is that I didn't borrow for everything. I bought "used" everything, worked on everything myself, traded up when I could, bought a few head of cattle at a time when I had the extra money on hand. I now have 35 brood cows, Charolais, many of which are registered. I own 83 acres, I paid off the last 40 acres I bought in around 7 years. My brother and I just purchased 137 acres of timber land. I am not telling all this to seem like I am bragging. I just want others to know that it can be done, but it takes lots of hard work and determination to do it. If someone wants something bad enough they seem to find a way to make it happen. Take for example, someone that smokes ~ even if they don't work, they will find a way to buy cigarettes. You have to want it like that, in that same sort of way. The best advice I can offer, with my limited experience, is to pray about everything and let God be your farm manager. If things are meant to be, they will have a way of working out. Never give up! Trey [/QUOTE]
