[QUOTE="holly heifer, post: 206524, member: 2767"] :lol: You are so right in the plain and simple fact that this cattle business for the small guy is usually a not for profit endeavor. :nod: But::::: the feeling one gets after an unusually long and hard delivery-- to see that newborn calf suckle his mom--- is priceless. The peace and content one experiences as he or she watches the girls and their calves grazing in the warm spring breeze. The pride of having a good bull that sires consistant nice fast gaining calves. The joy of getting top dollar for your feeder calves, knowing that this is the fruit of all your hard labor( and i mean HARD! ). So what if you sold them to pay for all the hay! :roll: I did this, I get up every morning at 4:30 am to care for my bovines, I have witnessed the miracle of birth, the finality of death, searched the woods for the calf that"didnt come up." Carried in my arms through the March snow a calf too weak to make it on his own, Chased the nasty cow that tried to kill me into the loading dock-- she is outahere!!!! Yea, it is a thankless job, the hours are long and neverending ( 24-7) I have been so cold i cold die and so hot I could explode. But you know what? I would not trade it for anything in this big ole world! :heart: [/QUOTE]
