[QUOTE="Bez+, post: 715114, member: 6797"] Sorry to hear it - however you are in good company - lots of folks are getting tired of feeding the masses for free. Or worse - working several off farm jobs to maintain the farm. Tough on the families and the future does not look all that rosy from the numbers that are getting out. I do not know any businessman who works at another job - or even two - to subsidize his main business. Even the old money and long term folks have come to realize they need to run the operation as a business as they see their bank accounts go down and debt rise. And today the lifestyle is great but the business has to work or the lifestyle falls to the banks. Sometimes the best business decision is to save the operation by tossing the things that are money losers - and if that means cows then that was the smart thing to do. Sounds like you kept the land and that is a good thing. Best to you Bez+ [/QUOTE]
