[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1829492, member: 498"] Have you grown out of it yet? When I was in second grade my Dad bought me a day old Holstein bull calf. Raised him up and sold the meat. By the time I graduated from I raise up enough steers and sold halves of beef to pay for the first 2 years of college (studies animal nutrition). Then I decided to make my fame and fortune riding bareback broncs in rodeos (You will note how rich and famous I am). During that time that time I worked on a few ranches, feedlots and saleyards as a cowboy. I always had a few cows. Mid 90's I got hurt on the job. The settlement bought about 10 bred cows. By about 2007 I was up to 100 cows on leased ground. Retired in 2017 sold out in Western Washington and bought a small for this part of the world ranch. All of my neighbors make their entire living running cows. So I am retired and own a ranch. That is an oxymoron. Today I own 53 bred cows and 5 fall pairs. But I am going to the sale tomorrow so that number is subject to change. [/QUOTE]
