[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 251481, member: 3162"] I am an engineer and can't walk away from it. That said, cattle is a part time venture. Cattle is in my blood. As far back as I go in Texas, my ancestors had cattle. That goes back to before the Alamo and San Jacinto. I don't have to make a living with cattle, but I do need to break even. Since I get property tax breaks, I can afford to lose a few nickels but would rather keep my nickels in my pocket. Hence, cattle is a "hobby" for me. All my cows have names. Some names are quite funny too. So when I am referred to as a "Hobby Farmer" in this forum, the truth doesn't hurt. I've been called some things far worse. But, what we have is ours. I build equity into land and cattle every year. When I hit the golden years, I'll be on to something. Nickels from retirement, pension, and cattle will all add up. I will have more time for farming and such then, and I truly enjoy this hobby. [/QUOTE]
