[QUOTE="Massey135, post: 945361, member: 17234"] They'd love me ALA, no doubt. Alright Chippie, Moved to the fam farm when I was 7. Step dad and mom wanted nothing more to do with the 20 grade Angus cows that were left there than to pay taxes. I hung up my scwinn in the barn. It's still there. Folks paid for the feed if I'd take care of em. Is sit on the tailgate of the truck and pour cubes while my mom drove. Funny how you remember struggling so hard to pick up a bag of feed. I got the excess $ over the land taxes in exchange. I always kept heifers. Some kids wanted go carts or playstations or w/e.. I wanted cows. A lot of birthday and Christmas heifers. I jus wanted a ride to the sale barn to buy more calves. Mostly heifers I'd keep. I never paid any taxes and always kept heifers. It's amazing how fast you can build a herd this way. I can't even recall how many times when I was 11-12 I'd get dropped off at the salebarn with my $220 bucks I had saved from this or that and bought a calf. I bottlefed calves before school for as far back as I can remember. My parents hated it, I loved it. My stepdad finally stopped paying for the feed when I was bout freshmen in hs when he had 12 cows and I had 40 lol. I'd always bribe help from guys at school with beer for help workin cows. God knows step dad wasnt takin off tie to help with it. Sold most of those cows off during my misspent youth 18-21. After college, I hit up the FSA for the beginning farmer rancher loan. They funded my purebred cows. Now I run some commercial brangus x cows on my family land and lease a cpl more hundred acres for my shorthorns. I'm hard headed and cow crazy. Any more questions?
