[QUOTE="tncattle, post: 804491, member: 5701"] I'll answer your questions in order: 1. Yes I have a reliable place to run them and quality winter hay as well. 2.Yes, I have the time and can leave my job which is very flexible at a moments notice and it's 10 minutes from the farm. 3. Yes, I have handling facilities I built myself and a good automatic squeeze chute. I can't believe people have cattle and no handling facilities. I can load and unload easily as I built it that way to make that part of it. 4. I'm certified to AI but probably will not as I have access to high quality Hereford bulls and Angus bulls. Both are within 10 miles of me and have both told me that I can borrow a bull when needed because of all the free work I have done for them over the last 5 years. What I mean is: I help them very often with their cattle and just about anything else that they need help with with when I can. 5. I have a 2004 Dodge 2500 Cummins (paid for) that I maintain and it pulls great. I have access ti a 24 ft. cattle trailer anytime I want or need it. The farm I lease has a nice tractor and bush-hog that I use to clip the pastures and it worked great last year except when I kept running over giant thorns and flattening tires! 6. Yes, the family that lives on the farm are from Montana and the husband has a degree in vet. medicine and has worked with horses and cattle most of his adult life--he's around 45 yrs. old. They are great people and know livestock and farming. [/QUOTE]
