[QUOTE="holly heifer, post: 478267, member: 2767"] OK--- BOYS----- yes, it is true, I am a HOBBY FARMER :shock: ( oh the horror of it all) I come from a family that has raised cattle on the side for over 40 years. I do not have the big aluminium trailer--- my cows ride in a horse trailier. I just this past summer got a head gate--- used to use a scale pen and some gates. :P I do buy all my feed stuff from local suppliers. I WILL whine when the prices of hay and feed more than triple in less than in a years time. Thats right, I do not have to be a "hobby farmer", I do have a "town job". But you know, there is just something about helping that newborn calf into the world, there is that feeling of accomplisment when those bottle calves go on to be productive members of the herd, a sense of pride when the bull puts really nice calves on the ground , that feeling of exhaustion after checking flood gaps or electric fences ( in 10 degree weather) It is a GOOD kind of exhaustion that says "hey, I have not been setting around all afternoon doing nuthin! ' There is poop to haul, cows to check, water to run, hay to put out, vaccinations and wormer to give, and the list goes on :roll: I am not trying to make tons of money on my calves, in fact we go in the hole most years. In fact, I am beginning to question WHY i do keep on doing all this work. :roll: I suppose it is that part of me that loves being outside trying to make something out of nothing at all. So, I will whine if I want to! ( for all the good it will do) ;-) [/QUOTE]
