[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1767722, member: 6291"] Neither. I'm not going to let cattle take a pasture to dirt nor will I feed up all my feed. If it's get to that point it's too late. I'm always thinking if ways to explain this with an analogy. Best I have come up with is our pasture is like our checking account. The cows eating is like our bills every month. In STX it's like being self employed... (or even worse, seasonal work lol). The revenue (rain) comes in spurts. You have to keep a healthy amount of money (grass) in the checking account to stay operating until the next check. If at any point your bills start out running your revenue you have to make cuts. Waiting until the checking account is at zero, is too late the make a change. You dang sure can't live on the savings account (the hay). Hope is not a plan, IMO. LoL [/QUOTE]
