[QUOTE="Limomike, post: 456330, member: 3400"] Funny you say that.. because when I took over my Dad's operation many years ago, I was planning on reducing the number of cows. He told me at the time; "IF your going to run with 25 cows, may as well do 50" But yes, its a great undertaking for someone who's heart is NOT into it. Most cattlemen enjoy the solitude of being out with the herd, watching them graze, working hard to keep them healthy, whether its below freezing, or hot as heck. All the nasty stuff that comes with all of that is just part of whole ordeal of raising cattle. When I married my wife, I never thought she would be the type who would want cattle, yet alone take on the feeding chores when I am tied up doing something else; or help drive the hay truck, or get supplies when I need them. And on top of that, she has helped me dig out of a snow drift when its about 4' deep, or mud up to my ankles. Or when it is so hot cutting brush or fixing fence, that she will bring me water, or iced tea to take away that dry, hot feeling in my mouth. But here it is, 25 years later, and she doesnt even complain when I tell her I am going to go buy 5 new registered cows to add to our herd. She only goes with me to look them over and give me her opinion, but leaves the final decision up to me. THAT, my friends, is a good woman, who I NEVER thought would be acceptable of a cattle operation when I married her. I am blessed. [/QUOTE]
