[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1602652, member: 27490"] The average producer in Kentucky has a herd of approximately 20 cows. You can always cherry pick a vocation, trade or occupation and find the extremes. So let's acknowledge that there are those individuals who through good fortune on their own merits, riding the coattails of others or by nefarious means have done well. But how are the vast numbers who participate in this vocation faring? The majority and greater are not making a living in the cattle industry. Their interest in cattle is a lifestyle diversion from their primary livelihood. I will concede that having lived 30 years in the Rocky Mountain West that the dynamics are much different. Nevertheless, that does not preclude that one can lose money on a larger scale. [/QUOTE]
