[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1555329, member: 24816"] Interesting how the subject of ways to improve profits in cattle marketing( everybody knows it would be very little if any profit improvement) has turned into a debate on what is considered rich. That is the nature of a public discussion forum I reckon. The subject of someone making money or more appropriately termed saving money by cutting expenses seemed to hit a few nerves. I don't think anyone was implying that you could become wealthy by using low quality cattle. I think the inference was that it was possible to do ok for ones self by not buying the best or latest and greatest of everything. It's very true we don't know there exact worth but, sometimes enough knowledge is known to draw the conclusion that some have done ok and are at the very least pretty comfortable in comparison. I think that is harder to achieve at this point in time but there have been several over the years that have made the right moves and investments. Land and or rental properties. Saving money by not buying new vehicles and equipment every year or few years. Just living a financially conservative lifestyle and not spending just because, can save money. Most of the examples I can think of are older folks many passed on by now they lived very modest lives, that most on here would not want to do, I'm not saying that there are secret multi million dollar farmers running around in large numbers because they didn't make a habit of buying $5 or $10,000 Bulls.
