[QUOTE="CCCowman, post: 1503296, member: 24507"] Granny and Dad always had a few (8-10) head around. Growing up I was always helping when i could. The last few years of Granny's life we got into raising bottle babies. We'd have 20 at a time. Me, dad and Grandpa feeding twice a day. Wouldn't recommend that to anyone!! After Granny and Grandpa passed dad continued keeping some cows around. I went to college, got a job. Had to work out of town for a while. Kinda grew away from cows. Of course every time I'd come home Dad would have some project for me to help with or just want to show me his new calf. Dad passed and I had to take care of what he left behind. Hadn't fooled with cows for a few years and suddenly found myself really enjoying it again. Now, I'm no big farm cattle man by no means. Most years I make enough to pay the taxes. Which is fine with me. I have 12 mommas and a bull. Lord has blessed me with 50 pretty good acres to keep 'em on. I check on the herd everyday. Most days sitting on a bucket talking to them. I think of my Granny, Grandpa and Dad often and I thank them for teaching me the joy of cattle. [/QUOTE]
