[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 1517810, member: 7795"] Dad was still trying at 87. Probably cause in his mind he didn’t have a choice or maybe he just needed that control. But if I learned anything between 2003 and 2011, by cutting the herd as drastically as you plan frees up a lot of time. You won’t really need lime and fertilizer as you won’t need that much forage. In a good year you will probably be able to grow enough hay to last several years without much trouble. Fuel, equipment repairs, feed and supply purchases will look minuscule compared to the past. And with those reductions in expenses you may even find you get to keep a higher $ per head percentage than when you were balls to the wall working for all the other agribusinesses. [/QUOTE]
