[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 456328, member: 2095"] Buying a ranch and cattle is kind of a big lifestyle change...and investment. Having a bunch of cows that are dependent on you, means feeding hay in winter (and in Canada it gets a "little" chilly), assisting cows calving sometimes late at night, getting out of bed because the sheriff called and said one of your cows were out on the road (and you get such calls even when they aren't your cows and sometimes when you can't find any trace that there was EVER a cow out), it means having mud and manure permanently stained on your boots, risking your life trying to drive 650 lb steer calves and 1400 lb cows into smaller and smaller spaces to sell and/or medicate, you will cut both arms/hands repeatedly working/building barbed wire fence, summer "vacation" will be spent clipping pastures, rebuilding fences, or stacking hay, etc, etc. AND land and cattle cost lots of money. I don't give marital advice.....never been there, never done that......but this seems like an awfully big lifestyle change (and 5 cows are as much work as 30) for one spouse to impose on the other.
