[QUOTE="NEFarmwife, post: 1523287, member: 26897"] I did not choose this lifestyle, it chose me. And don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love my life. I’d just like it to get less busy. When you feel like things are slowing down, suddenly you’re building another feedlot pen or adding onto a calving shed to create more stalls. Work on a farm/ranch is never finished. I COULD bow out of assisting with those things but my husband and I are in this together. Helping him may be the only time, we see one another. I see us always working hard but not to the extent we do now. Our goal is to one day, quit farming (as operators) and focus on cattle. We’ll be empty nesters in 3 years. I would love to stop for a moment, even a Sunday and go to the shooting range or lake for a little downtime. I’d love to enjoy some jeeping on the river. And we need to start making more of those things a priority for us but right now, we’re growing at such a fast rate that we cannot slow down. We have goals, we’ve set them in motion, now we’re just hustling to keep them moving forward. [/QUOTE]
