[Radi Cilo]

Just wondering your herd sizes, just to see a reasonable amount I could handle.

Please include:

-Hobbie or Job
-Spouce/Children Help (Spouces Job/Hobbie Also or not)
-Amount of Acres of Farm
-Breed
-Workers?
-Commercial or Reg.

Thanks,
-Radi

Radi...most folks don't like to tell you how many cows they run, its kind of like asking how much money they have in the bank...how big the place is and how many bales they brought in are pretty OK questions....of course there are folks that don't mind but be careful about the personal stuff....some do better than others..love pictures and cow questions on the boards....

you don't happen to work for the IRS do you? 8)

Ok, I can't help myself...I'll bite...if you are simply curious, the answers are:

Hobbie or job? This is both.

Spouse helps by making the actual income here, does not usually go through the gates unless an emergency or medical issue arises. My only child, a daughter is still rather too young to physically help, but is more then willing.

3 physical farms. this main farm is 169 acres, the other farms are smaller.

The farm we partner with is approx. 800 + acres.

Breeds? mostly Angus, some mixed, some dairy heifers, a few real odd balls for specimins only. approx 50 head here, and almost 300 at partnered farm.

One employee of hispanic origin at the large farm.

Commercial herd........ the butcher has yet to ask us for the registration papers for any of the few we have had. Although we do prefer bulls to be papered.

***********************************************
OK>>>>IF YOU ARE THE IRS...............the following are the answers to your questions.

Job or hobbie? I have no Job or hobbies, I am a live in dad, a house husband, although I once was asked to model for the TV add for Feed the Children......We were the ones that had the house stuck on the side of the mountain, and the 6 dogs running under the porch dargging on of the smaller kids around like it was a bone. I watch TV all day waiting for the wife to come home with the very modest paycheck....errr...I mean DSS check..

Spouse or children ? I have a wife and 12 children. I also have to support at least 6 illegitimate children not only my children, with our meager income.

Breed ? Breed of what? we have no livestock here, we can't afford them. If you.are asking for breed of people, we are American and Australian (Pommie) decent.

If you are asking if I breed? yes I breed prodigously, but I recently got neutered.... see above for evidence of potency ie: dependant write offs.

Workers? We cannot afford no workers besides the wife.. why would we need workers? we live in a 2 room shack, our outhouse is full and about to slide off it's foundations. Tax deduction for a new outhouse?

Commercial or registered? Are we still talking about the outhouse? yeah we use commercials....but her we call them advertisements, sale papers ..usually come inside the sunday paper...prefer the glossy coloured papers, wipes easier. Of course we don;t buy them, we can't afford to. We walk into town on Mondays an pull them out of peoples trash cans' while we are looking for some food. May as well kill tow birds with one stones as they say...a trip for food and outhouse wipes all in one trip.
Although sometimes we hit a jack pot, and find some used Kleenex in a can once in a while ( maybe some one had a cold?).......aaaahhhh so much softer then newspapers....and who ever leaves the snot on the kleenex has no idea it feels like aloe against the butt. ;-) But we are gratefull anyways. As they could say....'one man's snot rag is another man's toilet paper with lotion'




Glad i could help Radi

[memanpa]

radi !!!!!
went back thru all of your posts from day one!!!!!!! trying to make sense of the questions you ask, seems to me (my opinion only) that you might be a just someone who wants to waste other peoples time without really asking a serious question that is worthy of this board!
nothing you have asked is anymore than information that could be not be gotten by just reading past posts from all the members!!!!!!

Seems to be a problem here, in that people read what they want and ingnore the rest.
Radi is 14, pretty damn good questions for a 14 year old kid wouldnt you think? Great way to mentor the next generation, I am glad you are not MY memanpa
We keep asking the kids to grow up when many dont themselves.

try this ¿¿¿¿¿

You know when I am introduced to a city person and they are told that I raise cattle; often the first question they ask is how many cows I have. I never know what to say without sounding rude so I often tell them that I have not counted them lately and try to mention a different subject in the same berth.
Have y’all had this same experience? What do y’all answer?

My reply is; Why don't you just ask me how much money I have in the bank, too!

 

[HatCreekFan]

"enough to keep us busy"

 

[MikeC]

Or, XXXX number of pounds will stump them too.

 

[Bama]

I always say "1 head on each one of them". They look puzzled than they get the drift.
