This along with some events around the home front, have got me to thinkin' bout some things. I joined this forum because of my love of cattle. Not everyone that I am around are closely involved with farming, and therefore I miss having folks that know how it is to talk too. I can get to this site and read what others post and see their pictures and feel like that there are others that share at least some of my interests and enthusiasm for cattle, and farming in general. I am just a small time farmer, some would say I'm a hobby farmer, but it's a full time job for me. I have had a few successes and a lot of failures and a lot of break evens, but I'm still pluggin' along. I don't know everything and never will, I have picked up some useful information and ideas from several folks here and I greatly appreciate it. There is a wide range of posters on here some seem to only post about cattle, some venture into more variety, some have very strong opinions, and some like to stir the pot.
In my mind this is a big table with room for everybody. I have always heard it takes all kinds to make the world go round.
I may very well be one that some consider a know nothing contributor, but I try to comment when I think I have something to add that can relate or hopefully be relevant to the conversation.
I really hate to see anyone leave the forum, or be banned unless they are just truly disrespectful or hateful on a regular basis.
I did not know M-5 other than reading his posts and comments, and reading what others had said about him helping them.
He is no doubt a wealth of knowledge, and will be missed, hopefully he will reconsider his decision.
