[QUOTE="Herefords.US, post: 664404, member: 3972"] Well, it's a little personal, but since you asked.... My wife has some health problems that have rendered her disabled. She can no longer work or even drive. I had left my job LAST May with the idea of finally being able to become a full time rancher and having the security of her job and all its benefits. Then this struck her in October. Our COBRA insurance lasts for another 18 months, but under the present circumstances, it's probably going to be necessary that I return to work as an engineer to make sure we have affordable health insurance. If I go back to work as an engineer, I'm going to cull my herd back to about 20-25 cows, the number I can easily run on my home ranch with no inputs. Frankly, I'm getting too old to keep trying to do everything! Right now any expansion of the cowherd is on hold and we're hoping that the doctors can figure out what's wrong and get it addressed where my wife (and I) can return to a "normal" life. Right now it's necessary that we're together virtually 24/7 and that isn't always ideal for either one of us! :lol: George [/QUOTE]
